↑ 0%German defense giant Rheinmetall and U.S.-based Anduril Industries have announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop autonomous air systems and propulsion technologies tailored for European defense needs.
Just a few weeks later on Jan. 16, Anduril announced it would invest $900 million to build a manufacturing campus near Rickenbacker International Airport and would hire 4,000 people over the next decade.
Whatever the size of the pie, the companies vying for a slice of it include upstarts like Archer Aviation (ACHR), which is currently testing an eVTOL model and partnering with defense contractor Anduril to develop military applications, and Joby Aviation (JOBY), which is in the process of getting its air taxi certified for passenger rides.
Defense tech startup Anduril secured a $2.5 billion investment led by Founders Fund, which contributed $1 billion, marking its largest single investment. This Series G round doubled Anduril's valuation to $30.5 billion. The investment was oversubscribed by over eight times. Anduril's success was bolstered by winning a U.S. Army AR/VR headset contract, originally awarded to Microsoft for $22 billion. The defense tech sector is experiencing a surge in investments.
Anduril, a US-based autonomous defense tech startup, announced a $2.5 billion Series G funding round, boosting its valuation to $30.5 billion. This more than doubles its previous valuation of $14 billion. The funding supports Anduril's mission to innovate military systems with autonomous and AI-powered technologies, appealing to governments seeking advanced defense solutions.
