Anduril's Barracuda is a family of low-cost, turbojet-powered autonomous cruise missiles — Barracuda-100, -250 and -500 — built for mass production, with a Pentagon order for at least 3,000 rounds and co-production lines planned in Poland and Taiwan.
The July 6 agreement makes Poland the first European producer of Anduril's mass-production cruise missile, with thousands of rounds planned and a route to EU-funded sales under the SAFE scheme.
On July 2, Airbus co-led Quantum Systems' $1.2B round and became Brave1's first Western partner. Europe's old primes are buying the defense-tech boom, not fighting it.
Amazon Web Services named Anduril its preferred edge provider and packed AWS Outposts into Anduril's Menace-I data center, pushing cloud compute to the contested front.
The US autonomy maker wants to build military drones in a shuttered Nissan plant near a major US-Japan naval base, as Tokyo rearms against a Taiwan crisis.
The Air Force put its Collaborative Combat Aircraft into production four months early, handing a defense-tech challenger a marquee program that Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman bid for and lost.

Anduril's CEO is pressing Washington to let allies build US weapons, not just buy them. The same week, the Pentagon walled 65 more Chinese firms out of its defense base. The drone war's real front is now the control list.
Anduril's man-portable VTOL loitering munition — AI-guided, returnable if no strike, and the U.S. Marine Corps' first squad-level autonomous organic precision fires system, ordered under the $249M OPF-L program.
A stealthy, modular extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle co-developed by Anduril and the Royal Australian Navy — designed for persistent ISR, strike, and payload delivery from shore or warships.
The YFQ-44A Fury is America's jet-powered semi-autonomous fighter drone — a collaborative combat aircraft designed to team with crewed fighters, carry air-to-air missiles, and provide affordable mass for the US Air Force's next-generation airpower.
A reusable, jet-powered vertical-takeoff interceptor built to hunt drones at an order-of-magnitude lower cost than legacy missiles — and land again if the threat evaporates.
The State Department's $1.98 billion approval puts Anduril's electronic and kinetic drone defenses in the Gulf days after an Iranian drone hit Kuwait's main airport.
At Operation Jailbreak, six firms wired a radar 'Hunter' and a gun-armed 'Killer' into one autonomous counter-drone kill chain in under a week, the Army's argument that it can integrate at software speed.
The Pentagon's Crucible 2 turns a $54.6 billion autonomy budget line into a contracted shoot-off, and the 25-firm roster shows who the Pentagon is betting on to fly the swarms.
Defense-tech venture funding hit a record $14.6 billion in the first five months of 2026, per Crunchbase. The companies drawing the biggest checks build what Ukraine's front increasingly runs on: cheap, mass-produced autonomy.
Elbit America has pulled Anduril onto its SIGMA bid for the U.S. Army's self-propelled howitzer contest, a sign the program could turn on autonomy and networking as much as on the cannon.
