Anduril Industries has announced the launch of Pulsar-L (also known as Pulsar-Lite), the latest addition to its Pulsar line of software-defined electromagnetic warfare systems.
Engineered to deliver advanced electromagnetic capabilities in a lightweight and portable format, Pulsar-L is aimed at delivering detect, identify, track, and defeat functions directly to the tactical edge – without the rigidity and complexity typically associated with traditional electromagnetic warfare (EW) systems.
Unlike legacy platforms, which are often bulky, inflexible and reliant on highly specialised operation, Pulsar-L is designed for simplicity and adaptability. According to Anduril, the system can be deployed in under two minutes, providing immediate EW coverage before a battle begins. It also requires minimal training, enabling soldiers on the ground to operate the system autonomously while remaining focused on the broader combat environment.
“Pulsar-L is built with the front-line warfighter in mind,” an Anduril spokesperson said. “It’s autonomous, easy to operate and rapidly deployable – offering a full spectrum of EW capabilities in a form factor that supports mission agility.”
The system will be available in two primary configurations:
- Airborne – tailored for aerial electromagnetic warfare missions.
- Expeditionary – designed for use by ground forces across varied terrain.
Pulsar-L has been built to meet the evolving needs of modern combat. Its modular design supports rapid upgrades as technology advances, ensuring it remains operationally relevant well into the future. The system can function as a standalone asset or integrate with Anduril’s broader Lattice platform. It also supports compatibility with command and control and Common Operating Picture systems, including the widely used Tactical Assault Kit (TAK).
Currently in field use, Pulsar-L has been designed not only for rapid deployment but also to avoid the stagnation that often limits legacy systems. Its scalable manufacturing model allows for mass production – with the capability to deliver thousands of units annually – ensuring broad availability for military clients seeking to enhance EW capabilities across their forces.
Anduril says Pulsar-L is purpose-built for the next generation of electromagnetic threats, including those that have not yet emerged. “Waiting for the next threat to appear is too late,” the company said. “Pulsar-L is the pre-emptive solution for an unpredictable battlespace.”
