Partner to develop AI-based MUM-T command-and-control system
Plan to apply ‘Lattice’ to HR-Sherpa and multi-legged walking robots
Consider building drone detection and counter-drone control system
Hyundai Rotem has partnered with U.S. defense-tech firm Anduril to develop an AI-driven manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) command-and-control system.
Hyundai Rotem announced on June 7 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Anduril at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul’s Jongno District to advance its weapons systems.
Anduril is a U.S. defense-tech company that develops AI-driven combat operations software. The signing ceremony was attended by Hyundai Rotem President and CEO Lee Yong-bae and Anduril co-founder and CEO Brian Schimpf, along with company officials from both firms.
The MOU establishes cooperation to develop an integrated MUM-T command-and-control system. Future battlefields are shifting toward MUM-T operations in which human commanders and AI work together to execute missions.
Such a command-and-control system is critical to enable armored vehicles, unmanned ground robots and aerial drones to operate together on the battlefield.
Hyundai Rotem plans to integrate Anduril’s AI operating system, Lattice, into unmanned platforms such as the multipurpose unmanned vehicle HR-Sherpa and multi-legged walking robots to enhance C2 capabilities.
Lattice is an AI operating system that fuses sensor data on weapons systems to enable real-time target tracking and autonomous battlefield assessment. Anduril has been involved in global defense projects, including contracts to integrate Lattice into U.S. Army operational systems.
Hyundai Rotem also intends to embed Lattice across its primary ground platforms. Acting as the AI “brain,” Lattice would enable swarm control and autonomous mission execution across manned combat vehicles, unmanned robots and drones—coordinating multiple systems to act as a single, cohesive unit on the battlefield.
The company is also exploring a mobile counter-drone control system based on Anduril’s drone-operating suite. In that concept, Anduril’s aerial platforms would detect hostile drones, while mobile weapon platforms—such as wheeled armored vehicles—would assess the situation and support commanders’ decision-making.
Anduril currently fields drone platforms including the reconnaissance drone Ghost, the interceptor Roadrunner and the kinetic-collision drone Anvil.
Hyundai Rotem said the MOU will strengthen the technological competitiveness and tactical utility of MUM-T systems. The companies plan to expand cooperation into areas such as real-time threat identification and air-defense solutions.
A Hyundai Rotem spokesperson said the collaboration goes beyond a standard technology partnership and will help the company secure AI command-and-control capabilities that will be central on future battlefields. “The defense market is rapidly shifting from traditional manufacturing to integrated technology and software systems,” the official added.
“We hope this MOU with Anduril will improve interoperability between weapons hardware and AI software,” the spokesperson said.
