BlueTIDE, hosted annually in Rhode Island, brings together innovators, defense stakeholders, investors, and industry leaders for in-water demonstrations and evaluation of cutting-edge maritime and autonomous technologies in real-world environments. The 2026 event will build on this foundation by deepening collaboration between emerging technology companies and national defense platforms.

Through its Flagship Sponsorship, Anduril will offer a focused pathway for companies to integrate their technologies into Anduril’s Lattice platform. Lattice is Anduril’s core software platform that connects and integrates data from Anduril and third-party systems into a single operating picture across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains. Participating companies will have the opportunity to engage in a structured development process leading up to the August event, including access to technical resources, integration support, and a development environment designed to accelerate compatibility with Lattice.

This collaboration will culminate at BlueTIDE 2026 with live demonstrations and mission-based scenarios showcasing integrated technologies operating within Anduril’s Lattice ecosystem with visual and digital representations of the technologies. In addition, Anduril will evaluate technologies throughout the day and will engage directly with select aligned companies for potential partnerships and Lattice integration opportunities.

“This partnership represents a significant step forward for BlueTIDE and the broader innovation ecosystem,” said Christian Cowan, Executive Director of Polaris. “By adding this partnership with Anduril, we are building on the strong partnership with NUWC Newport and creating a direct pathway for emerging companies to connect their technologies to real defense applications, accelerating both innovation and commercialization.”
