# Anduril Ghost
[[Anduril]]'s family of autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance drones — the company's first major product line and the system that established Anduril as a serious defense contractor. Quiet, modular, and man-portable, the Ghost family delivers ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and targeting data at the tactical edge.
## What It Does
Ghost is an expeditionary autonomous air vehicle designed for quiet, modular ISR, targeting, and force protection with minimal training requirements. The current primary variant, Ghost X, features a high-performance camera system with both day and night imaging, up to 8-hour endurance on a single charge, and operational range of up to 100 kilometers. It's designed to be deployed by small infantry units without specialized drone operator training.
The system integrates with [[Anduril Lattice]] for autonomous operations, and has demonstrated the ability to spot targets and cue HIMARS precision strikes within minutes during exercises.
## Who Uses It
### U.S. Army
The primary customer. Ghost X has been selected for the Army's Company Level sUAS Directed Requirement, meaning it's being fielded to company-level infantry units across the force. The 25th Infantry Division has conducted high-tempo trials during Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) Rotation 26-01 in Hawaii.
### International Exercises
Deployed during Combined Resolve 25-1 in Germany and Balikatan 25 in the Philippines, providing medium-range reconnaissance in support of U.S. and allied forces. The Philippines deployment is significant for Indo-Pacific deterrence posture.
## Contract Value
Part of the $20B Army enterprise agreement. Ghost X is included in the consolidated procurement framework rather than having a separately disclosed program value.
## Note on Naming
"Ghost" is also part of the name for [[Anduril Ghost Shark]], the company's autonomous submarine program for Australia — but they are completely separate systems. The aerial Ghost family and the undersea Ghost Shark share the Anduril brand and [[Anduril Lattice]] integration but are different product lines.
