Anduril Industries

Anduril and Rheinmetall are partnering to provide a counter drone capability that will make sure our customers stay one step ahead of the evolving drone threat. Through the partnership, we'll integrate our software defined and hardware enabled system including Lattice, Sentry, Anvil and Wisp with Rheinmetall's command and control system, Skymaster, and high-power guns for a layered approach to detecting, tracking and defeating small drones. https://lnkd.in/ejHRVAsj

We are honored to support Valiant Shield 2024 by providing geographically distributed command and control capabilities during this multinational, biennial field training exercise. Valiant Shield focuses on integrating interoperability in a multi-domain environment, preparing the Joint and Combined Force for real-world missions. Our Lattice-powered C2 systems, including the Menace family of systems, are delivering critical command and control functions. This scalable battle network transforms the joint warfighting effort by enabling real-time, integrated connections across domains. From field training sites to headquarters, Anduril's solutions are driving data ingest, correlation, common operating pictures, and machine-to-machine tasking. “Valiant Shield represents one of the largest distributed mesh computing, communications, command and control infrastructures ever assembled - demonstrating the power of software, hardware and partners coming together to solve a highly complex problem,” said Tom Keane SVP of Engineering at Anduril Industries. We're proud to provide resilient communications, networking, and processing solutions that enable U.S. and partner forces to adapt to dynamic security environments. Exercises like Valiant Shield showcase the importance of interoperability, interchangeability, and machine speed information sharing across all domains. https://lnkd.in/gRwgmmXB

Ghost, Anduril’s small uncrewed aircraft system, has been added to the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)’s Blue UAS Cleared List. This will enable us to deliver critical capabilities to our national security partners with greater speed and security. Ghost is Anduril’s autonomous sUAS, built to provide reconnaissance and targeting, electronic warfare, network extension, and effects close to the tactical edge. In close collaboration with government and industry partners, Anduril continues to enhance Ghost’s payload options, contested environment capabilities, and open extensible software. We are grateful to the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the AFWERX Proving Ground program, and Dark Wolf for their support in achieving this certification so we can continue advancing this technology with operators around the world. https://lnkd.in/eckSB4nG

Today, we are announcing a new manufacturing facility for large scale production of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. By investing in a scaled production facility ahead of need, Anduril will be able to stay ahead of customer demand and deliver on orders of the Dive-LD family of AUVs with unprecedented speed. The 150,000 square foot production facility will enable Anduril to immediately increase production capacity for its Dive-LD family of AUVs to more than 200 hulls per year. The factory announcement comes amid growing demand from defense and commercial customers for Anduril's AUVs. For example, the US Navy recently awarded Anduril an $18.6 million contract for an initial buy of Dive AUVs through the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)'s Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (LDUUV) prototyping effort. AUVs are transforming maritime deterrence by providing an affordable, distributed, and adaptable undersea capability that complements the U.S. and allied submarine fleet. Developing, manufacturing, and fielding these systems at scale on an operationally-relevant timeline will be critical. https://lnkd.in/eXruJWqg

Anduril is building second stage rocket motors for use in the US Navy's Standard Missile-6 (SM-6), which remains a cornerstone of maritime deterrence. We are committed to expanding the supply chain for solid rocket motors to meet and deter rapidly-evolving threats against US naval fleets. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHuUm2YQ

Today, we hosted a groundbreaking event for our rocket motors factory in McHenry, Mississippi. Anduril is investing $75 million to increase production capacity of tactical-scale solid rocket motors to more than 6,000 per year. This investment will modernize and expand our manufacturing systems so we're able to drive down costs and build rocket motors much faster than traditional timelines.

We look forward to working with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the U.S. Air Force Armament Directorate to deliver a highly-modular, affordable, and capable Enterprise Test Vehicle (ETV) that will serve as the baseline architecture for mass production of next-generation airborne platforms.

On Memorial Day, we pause and pay tribute to the courageous men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their bravery underpins our freedom, and their sacrifices remind us of the profound cost of that liberty. To our veterans and active service members, thank you. Your commitment and dedication represent the very best of what it means to serve.

Introducing Anduril's latest counter intrusion innovation: Extended Range Sentry Tower (XRST). XRST brings proven performance to longer-range applications, enabling detection, classification, and tracking at ranges of up to 7.5 miles, including 5+ miles autonomously. XRST joins hundreds of other Sentry towers that are operationally deployed around the world. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eQMmpkTp

From personal warships and Disneyland cars to paradigm-shifting defense technology, the latest episode of The Circuit on Bloomberg featuring Palmer Luckey truly has it all. “This muscle we used to have as a country of turning small, innovative defense companies into large-scale providers of weapons - we lost it. As a country we need to do better.” At Anduril, we’re bringing it back. Check out the episode with Emily Chang: https://lnkd.in/eb4ranM8
