Anduril Roadrunner

The Federal Register describes Roadrunner as a twinjet, subsonic interceptor with vertical launch and recovery and a high-explosive configuration for Group 3 threat aircraft.

Overview

Roadrunner is a twinjet system that launches and recovers vertically; its high-explosive configuration provides hard-kill effects against Group 3, mid-sized threat aircraft, according to the July 2026 Federal Register technology annex. Navy acquisition spokesman Capt. Ronald Flanders identified U.S. Special Operations Command as its first user in comments reported by Military.com in March 2025. Anduril said on 8 October 2024 that it had received a $249,978,466 contract for more than 500 Roadrunner-M interceptors plus Pulsar capabilities, with deliveries scheduled from Q4 2024 through the end of 2025. Anduril’s announcement provided a delivery schedule, not confirmation that those deliveries had been completed. USNI News reported in September 2026 that the Navy had employed Roadrunner and Coyote aboard a few Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, without identifying the Roadrunner variant or reporting engagement results.
