Surface-Launched Barracuda-500M production agreement

Anduril and the U.S. Department of War signed a three-year framework to deliver at least 3,000 Surface-Launched Barracuda-500M cruise-missile systems to the Army.

The production framework covers at least 3,000 all-up SLB-500M systems for the Army's ground-launched low-cost containerized munition effort. Anduril plans to deliver at least 1,000 rounds annually, with the first tranche and more than 60 containerized launchers due in 2027. The company is pairing air-vehicle production with expanded solid-rocket-motor capacity in Mississippi.
