Anduril and Meta have a new, unsettling obsession: turning smart glasses into instruments of war

Meta and Anduril have partnered to build augmented-reality smart glasses for soldiers, combining battlefield data with tactical features.

The effort is part of a joint $159 million defense contract and runs alongside Anduril’s EagleEye helmet program.

It marks a major step for big tech into military AR, raising questions about combat automation, ethics, and defense competition.

The project positions Meta and Anduril against rivals including Microsoft, HoloLens, Rivet, and Elbit in the military wearables market.
