Anduril Industries
Defense technology company pairing Lattice command-and-control software with autonomous systems, weapons, and software-defined factories including Arsenal-2.
The product
Lattice software for command and control and mission autonomy; autonomous air, land, sea, and undersea systems; counter-UAS products; mass-producible weapons including Barracuda and Steelfin; and Virginia-class submarine components and large assemblies through Arsenal-2.
The thesis
Anduril is expanding from autonomous systems and command software into high-volume missile and submarine-component production, adding capacity in defense segments constrained by interceptor inventories and submarine-industrial-base throughput.
How it runs
Vertically integrated, software-defined defense model: Lattice connects Anduril and third-party systems, while ArsenalOS coordinates production across a distributed factory network. Arsenal-2 is planned as a software-defined Baltimore County shipyard for complex Virginia-class submarine components and assemblies.
How it earns
Multiyear U.S. and allied government development, procurement, production, and sustainment contracts, plus platform and systems-integration work. Recent awards include an Army NGC2 contract worth up to $1.8 billion over five years and a Navy Arsenal-2 production contract worth up to $2.9 billion with payments tied to demonstrated outcomes.
Why it wins
A common autonomy and command layer spans a broad hardware portfolio, while ArsenalOS links product development to a growing production network. Steelfin reuses a common two-stage architecture across interceptor variants, and Arsenal-2 extends the model into heavy submarine-component manufacturing backed by substantial private capital.
