Evidence & current status
The sources below establish the stated programme milestone or supplier claim. They do not independently verify every configuration, delivery total or advertised performance figure.
Role and programme
The Army’s September 2024 announcement identifies Ghost X and PDW C-100 as selected platforms for its company-level small-UAS requirement. A July 2025 official image record documents a Ghost-X aircraft with an Army reconnaissance company, supporting use beyond an exhibition announcement.
Those primary sources are procurement and operator records rather than full technical datasheets. Commonly repeated endurance and payload figures are not inserted without a configuration-matched primary specification. The profile distinguishes Ghost-X from earlier Ghost aircraft and from Anduril’s separate Bolt and Altius product families.
Sourced specifications
Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
