Latvia’s ORIGIN and US Anduril Demonstrate Integrated Drone Defence System

Latvian defence technology company ORIGIN and US-based Anduril have demonstrated an integrated counter-drone system to senior Latvian military officials, just over a month after signing a cooperation agreement.

The demonstration, held at a military training ground in Latvia in late October, combined ORIGIN’s autonomous BLAZE interceptor drone with Anduril’s Lattice command-and-control platform and a radar system already used by Latvia’s air defence forces.

According to the companies, the integration took just four days and resulted in a successful target interception.

The demonstration follows a memorandum signed on 25 September, under which the companies agreed to explore joint counter-drone solutions for NATO’s eastern flank.

ORIGIN and Anduril plan to continue testing and validating the integrated system, while developing operational concepts for counter-drone missions.

The project marks a practical step in connecting Latvian-developed defence hardware with an established American software platform, although no procurement contract or commercial production agreement has been announced.
