Anduril Industries introduces Pulsar-L, its most lightweight and versatile electronic combat system

U.S.-based defense technology specialist Anduril Industries has unveiled Pulsar-L, the lighter and more mobile version of its advanced Pulsar electronic combat system. Designed to track and neutralize threats such as swarms of drones, Pulsar-L stands out for its compact size, low weight and rapid deployability, adapting to the demands of modern combat.

"Think of Pulsar-L as a smaller solution that extends this capability to the tactical edge, aboard platforms and weapon systems."explained Chris Brose, Anduril's chief revenue and strategy officer, during the presentation.

Compact, powerful and easy to deploy in minutes

Weighing less than 25 pounds and with dimensions similar to those of a shoebox, Pulsar-L is significantly more compact than previous versions of the system. This new model comes in two configurations: one airborne and one expeditionary, allowing it to operate in both field missions and on airborne platforms.

The system can operate stand-alone or integrate with artificial intelligence software Lattice Anduril, enabling automatic management of the threat spectrum.

"The operator can put it in standalone mode and the system analyzes the spectrum, identifies threats and decides how to neutralize them, all automatically."said Sam El-Akkad, general manager of radio frequency systems and electronic warfare.

Already deployed in real operations and ready for full-scale production

Pulsar-L has already been deployed in real operational scenarios since last year, although the company has not disclosed in which areas it is in service. Anduril notes that its development, from the conceptual phase to deployment, took just eight months thanks to the company's common hardware and software platforms.

Anduril currently plans to produce more than 100 low-rate units by the end of this year, with the intention of scaling up to thousands of Pulsar-L inhibitors annually in the coming years.

Part of an ambitious expansion plan in electronic warfare

The Pulsar-L is part of Anduril's growing range of electronic warfare solutions, which include Pulsar-V (vehicular), Pulsar Alpha (airborne) and fixed site configurations. These solutions seek to offer more agile and effective alternatives to bulky and limited traditional electronic warfare systems.

In addition, Anduril holds key contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, including $1 billion agreements with Special Operations Command, for the supply of drone countermeasures hardware and software.

Last October, an unidentified defense agency purchased an unspecified number of Pulsar jammers as part of a $250 million anti-drone countermeasures package, which also included 500 rounds of the Roadrunner interceptor.

With Pulsar-L, Anduril consolidates its position as one of the most innovative players in the defense against unconventional threats, offering faster, more compact solutions adapted to the challenges of the modern battlefield.
