Newsflash: Defense technology companies fail a lot. When we're building weapons that help deter war and defend our troops, test failures are essential to the mission. We don't hide from them. We plan for them, learn from them and succeed because of them. Recent media inquiries are trying to sensationalize isolated test failures. They miss the entire point of innovation. Real technological progress requires relentless testing, intentional system breaking, and rapid iteration. Our 200+ test engineers deliberately push systems to breaking points across 6 test sites because controlled failures create battlefield resilience. Finding these failures in controlled environments is the entire point of what we do. At Anduril, we fail forward because war doesn't wait for perfection. Neither do our adversaries.

Production is Deterrence. The Factory is the Weapon. Anduril Co-Founder Trae Stephens addresses why we must rebuild the arsenal. Read his op-ed: "No Solvency, No Security." in American Affairs today. Linked in the comments below.

Europe’s security environment is changing. Its approach to deterrence must too. In early November, Anduril joined the US Army's 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command and the Estonian Defense Forces in Tallinn for exercise Digital Shield 1.0. Within 48 hours, the team set up multiple Menace-T tactical C4 kits that kept data moving, even when connections were jammed, weak, or cut off. A critical capability for any fight along NATO’s eastern flank. Read the full article, linked in the comments.

What can Dwight Eisenhower, Ford Motor Company, and the Pentagon's "Yoda" Andy Marshall teach us about building 21st century missile systems and autonomous aircraft in Central Ohio? Quite a lot, actually. In my latest piece for American Affairs, I argue that defense preparedness increasingly means mass production capacity. The new battlespace means that the "factory is the weapon." And with our Arsenal-1, we are building one of the most powerful weapons possible. Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/gRHCiEyZ

Transforming the British military won't happen overnight. We can't waste a single day. Anduril UK is reinvesting more than 40% of its revenue into R&D to defend British interests. Britain stands ready. Anduril UK stands ready. Full statement linked in the comments.

Anduril is building autonomous warships with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. China's capacity for shipbuilding is 232 times that of the US. Manned fleets alone will never keep up. That’s why we’re building warships. To make sure America is fighting at machine speed again. America must win. Full statement in comments.

Omen is not just a concept. Anduril started building Omen in 2019, flew the first Omen demonstrators in 2020, and has logged hundreds of flight hours across 30+ prototypes. Today, Omen is the first tail-sitter airplane with a mass-production contract.

To our adversaries, let this be an Omen. Anduril has established a joint venture with EDGE to advance autonomous systems in the Middle East and surrounding areas. The first co-developed product is Omen. A hover-to-cruise AAV that achieves the endurance, speed, and payload of larger airplanes. All without a runway. To establish our permanent presence in the UAE, Anduril is building a 50,000-square-foot regional hub for engineering, design, and prototyping in Abu Dhabi. Our first operational footprint in the Middle East. Delivering these capabilities to the Gulf will accelerate critical readiness for the Pacific. Full statement linked in the comments.

Veterans are core to our mission. They make up over 13% of our employee base. That’s more than twice the share in the US Labor Force. Today and every day, Anduril honors our heroes. Featured Veterans: Joseph Pope Cal Toerner Bryce Allen Stephanie L. Davis, APRᐩM Christopher Jimenez

The US Army has selected Anduril for the Integrated Battle Command System Maneuver (IBCS-M) program, solidifying Lattice as the Army’s fire control platform for Counter-UAS missions. “We’re uniquely positioned to deliver on the Army’s vision because Anduril helped define the new frontier of air defense technology. Our work in autonomous systems and command and control has built the foundation for this moment — it’s a natural extension of the lineage that began when we reimagined how modern defense should operate.” - Matthew Steckman Full statement linked in the comments.
