Pulsar

Anduril's AI-driven electronic warfare system; portable 360-degree drone jammer pitched to Gulf buyers.

Last refreshed: 30 March 2026

Key Question

How does an AI jammer learn to defeat new drone threats in hours?

Background

Pulsar is Anduril's software-defined electronic warfare system that uses AI at the edge to detect, identify, and jam hostile drones. Anduril unveiled it at the World Defense Show in Riyadh in 2026, targeting Gulf States under active drone and missile threat from the Iran conflict.

The system comes in multiple variants: Pulsar (tripod-mounted, 360-degree coverage), Pulsar-V (vehicle-mounted), Pulsar Alpha (airborne), and Pulsar-L (lightweight, under 25 pounds, shoebox-sized). All use software-defined radio and edge computing to apply focused jamming while minimising interference with friendly communications. If one system encounters an unknown signal, the threat data propagates across the network within hours.

Pulsar integrates with Anduril's Lattice command platform and can operate standalone or as part of a layered Counter-UAS architecture alongside kinetic and directed-energy systems. Pulsar-L is already fielded in operational environments.

Common Questions
What is Anduril Pulsar?
A family of AI-powered electronic warfare systems that detect and jam hostile drones using software-defined radio and edge computing.Source: background
How small is the Pulsar-L jammer?
About the size of a shoebox and under 25 pounds. It can be set up in minutes and operates standalone or with Anduril's Lattice platform.Source: quick_facts
How does Pulsar learn new drone threats?
When one system encounters an unknown RF signal, the threat data is captured and pushed across the network. AI compresses the response timeline from weeks to hours.Source: background
Why did Anduril launch Pulsar in Riyadh?
The Gulf is under active drone attack from the Iran conflict. The UAE alone has intercepted over 1,350 drones, creating urgent demand for portable Counter-UAS systems.Source: background
What Pulsar variants exist?
Tripod-mounted Pulsar for fixed sites, Pulsar-V for vehicles, Pulsar Alpha for aircraft, and the lightweight Pulsar-L for dismounted troops.Source: quick_facts
