Back in May I floated the idea that we might be involved with Anduril’s new helmet. #99,903
This hunch came from Sean’s AGM comment about a military-focused headset doing something that I recall him describing along the lines of "never having been done before", specifically enabling rear-vision for better situational awareness.
Fast-forward to now and check the LinkedIn clip. You can see that there’s a rear-view display band across the top of the HUD (I’ve circled it in red). If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is exactly the kind of capability Sean hinted at.
I also thought the soldier’s point (see below) about battery life is pretty telling because it’s precisely the use case where ultra-low-power neuromorphic would be extra handy.

The EagleEye partners publicly named by Anduril so far are Meta, Oakley Qualcomm and Gentex. But as you can see from the two extracts below "other commercials organisations are also involved" with "Luckey telling reporters the company plans to announce more partners over the next year". So if we are involved, an announcement could land within that window.
Obviously, it still speculation about any BrainChip tie-in, but the rear-vision feature aligns uncannily with what Sean told us at the AGM. If nothing else, the use cases with always-on, ultra-low-power, event-driven perception at the edge are a natural fit, so I'd say we are in with a pretty good chance IMO.

And let's not forget Jonathan Tapson's comments in his Washington post in which he stated, "the US AI industry is becoming increasingly integrated with Defense and associated Departments in the US Government, and companies such as Anduril and Palantir are showing the way. BrainChip will be part of this integration."

Also noteworthy is that Palmer Luckey has said Anduril plans to market EagleEye beyond the US military, to firefighters and first responders and he expects interest from US Department of Homeland Security, including the USCoast Guard and Border Patrol.
