Troops can now run mission systems and AI-enabled tools directly from body-worn gear instead of relying on computers at command posts, thanks to Anduril Industries’ Voyager Gateway 1 (Voyager G1).

Integrated within the company’s Lattice Mesh network, the wearable device turns dismounted troops into connected battlefield nodes capable of sharing data, voice communications, and live video in real time.

Roughly the size of a handheld radio, it combines low-power computing with a waterproof design for extended operations in harsh environments.

It is also engineered to reduce the weight and heat typically associated with tactical computing systems, helping soldiers remain mobile during longer missions.

The system supports both wired and wireless connections, allowing operators to maintain access to mission applications and AI-enabled capabilities in the field without depending on servers at rear command posts.

Putting It to the Test

Voyager G1 was recently tested alongside Anduril’s Mission Autonomy software during a US Indo-Pacific Command exercise.

During the event, the device demonstrated sensing and target-sharing capabilities, enabling operators to detect, process, and distribute information in areas with limited communications infrastructure.

The exercise also showed how the system can help teams maintain connectivity and continue operating in contested environments.

“Voyager G1 extends the Voyager product line with a body-worn form factor, delivering rugged, low-power compute and resilient connectivity directly to the dismounted operator,” the company stated.

“Like the rest of the Voyager line, it is built rugged first for employment in harsh environments, designed to handle shock, vibration, water, and contested electromagnetic conditions without compromising performance.”
