Anduril to acquire Ireland's Klas to bolster AI warfare systems

Klas, which has 150 employees, is expected to continue operating from its facilities in Ireland and the US.

Anduril, which is backed by venture capital heavyweights, will integrate Klas' hardware into its AI-powered software platform Lattice, the "central brain" of its AI-powered autonomous systems.

AI-powered defense startup Anduril Industries on Monday said it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ireland-based tactical communications systems maker Klas.

Anduril, along with software maker Palantir and Elon Musk's SpaceX, has emerged as frontrunners to win a crucial part of President Donald Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense shield, Reuters reported last month citing people familiar with the matter.
