About the company
Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Sales target almost doubles: May 2026 projections put Anduril's annual revenue at $4.3 billion, versus $2.2 billion in 2025.
- Expansion has fresh funding: Anduril raised $5 billion in May 2026, doubling its valuation to $61 billion.
- A long-term procurement path: a March 2026 Army deal allows up to $20 billion of Anduril purchases over 10 years.
What critics are saying
- Sales rest on few buyers: CEO Brian Schimpf told staff in February 2026, "We have just outrageously concentrated business."
- Systems have failed tests: a November 2025 Wall Street Journal report cited stalled drone boats and a 22-acre fire.
- Expect on-site, security-cleared work: only 33 of 2,470 open roles in October 2026 were remote; nearly two-thirds required clearance eligibility.
What makes Anduril unique
- It builds its own missile boosters: Anduril says its Mississippi plant made it America's third solid rocket motor supplier.
- Peter Thiel's firm backs it heavily: Founders Fund put $1 billion into Anduril in June 2025, its largest check ever.
- It began at the border: Customs and Border Protection runs 350-plus Sentry towers and ordered 200 more in June 2026.

0%Anduril Industries, the defence startup founded by Oculus inventor Palmer Luckey, has won a $2.9 billion US Navy contract to build components for Virginia-class nuclear attack submarines. The company will invest $3.7 billion in a 2 million-square-foot shipyard at Sparrows Point, outside Baltimore. Called "Arsenal 2," the site will make Anduril a supplier to the two prime contractors for the submarines, Huntington Ingalls and General Dynamics. Operations are not expected to begin before 2030. Anduril already builds autonomous undersea vehicles. In 2024, it won an $18.6 million Navy contract to make Dive-LD vehicles in Rhode Island, aiming for 200 a year. The company has a private valuation of $61 billion, second only to General Dynamics among US military shipbuilders.
Gecko Robotics, Anduril to accelerate American shipbuilding with robotics, AI. October 8, 2026 (C) Gecko Robotics Gecko Robotics announced a partnership with Anduril Industries to help accelerate American shipbuilding using advanced robotics, AI-powered software, and automated quality assurance. The partnership will support Anduril's Arsenal-2, a new software-defined shipyard in Baltimore County, Maryland, announced as part of the company's $3.7 billion investment to expand production for the Virginia-class submarine program. Gecko's technology will be deployed at Anduril's new 160,000-square-foot protofactory in Orange County, California, where key submarine components will be manufactured. Working with other customers across the defense industrial base, Gecko's technology has already reduced inspection timelines for forged components by up to 90%, improving cost and schedule performance for the U.S. Navy. By embedding inspection expertise directly into software and robotics, Gecko enables workers with no prior NDT experience to become productive in as little as an hour of training, allowing manufacturers to expand qualified inspection capacity without relying solely on scarce specialist labor. As demand for submarines and other naval systems continues to rise, expanding the available workforce will be just as important as expanding production facilities. The partnership reflects a broader transformation underway across the defense industrial base. As Anduril develops software-defined production systems through ArsenalOS, Gecko provides real-time intelligence and data on physical assets that are essential for military grade manufacturing operations. Every assessment of new build components contributes to a continuously evolving digital thread that follows critical components from manufacturing through decades of operational service. That digital thread creates more than quality records. This approach also streamlines maintenance planning and reduces unplanned maintenance costs and repairs, ensuring optimal performance over the lifetime of the fleet. This lack of data and insight plagues ships around the world with unexpected downtime.

This includes a new software-defined shipyard, Arsenal-2, in Maryland, expected to create over 3,000 direct jobs. US defence technology firm Anduril has announced a USD 6.6 billion investment to expand America's submarine industrial base, including USD 3.7 billion for a new software-defined shipyard, the company said in a release, adding, the project is estimated to create over 3,000 direct jobs. New software-defined shipyard: Arsenal-2. According to the release, US President Donald Trump announced a new software-defined shipyard backed by Anduril Industries called Arsenal-2. The facility will manufacture critical components for Virginia-class submarines, adding capacity to the US submarine industrial base as the Navy seeks to increase attack submarine production. Virginia-class submarines are built by General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding. "President Donald J. Trump today announced Arsenal-2, a new software-defined shipyard backed by a USD 3.7 billion private capital investment by Anduril Industries. The facility will manufacture critical components for the Virginia-class submarine, adding significant new capacity to America's submarine industrial base in support of the Navy's effort to increase attack submarine production," the release said. Economic impact and job creation. The company added, Arsenal-2 will be built at Tradepoint Atlantic in Baltimore County, Maryland, where the project will create "3,100 direct jobs and support more than 11,000 indirect jobs." "The site will drive $2 billion in annual economic output, including an estimated $312 million in wages each year," the US defence firm further added. Performance-Based Navy contract. The US Navy awarded Anduril a contract of up to USD 2.9 billion, with payments tied directly to demonstrated production outcomes. "This contract structure ensures that Anduril, not the taxpayer, takes on the majority of the execution risk, aligning incentives to ensure on-time, high-quality submarine production," the company said. Boosting submarine production capacity. Together, the total amount aggregates to a USD 6.6 billion investment in America's submarine industrial base. According to the release, Arsenal-2 will manufacture complex components and large-scale assemblies for Virginia-class submarines and supply them to Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding for final assembly. The company further added that additional production source will allow more submarine construction to take place simultaneously across the industrial base, boosting overall capacity for the Virginia-class programme.

Anduril has acquired Popoto Modem, a Massachusetts-based underwater acoustics company, to enhance its autonomous undersea capabilities. The acquisition addresses a critical challenge in maritime operations: traditional undersea acoustic communications equipment has been prohibitively expensive, limiting the deployment of large autonomous formations. Popoto Modem's technology enables persistent, multi-node mesh networking underwater, allowing autonomous vehicles to communicate simultaneously with each other, surface vessels, and the broader fleet. Anduril has already integrated Popoto's affordable acoustic modems into its maritime systems over the past year. The immediate focus is scaling integrations into Anduril's Copperhead family of autonomous underwater vehicles, enabling single operators to command large AUV formations. The acquisition extends Anduril's Lattice integration platform from above-water operations to subsea environments, creating an affordable communications infrastructure for deploying undersea systems at scale.
Trump visits Baltimore County for multi-billion dollar deal, protesters vocalize opinions. By Morgan Lane, Editor-in-Chief President Donald Trump visited Baltimore County on Tuesday to announce a multi-billion dollar investment toward American defense and shipbuilding. Trump spoke at Tradepoint Atlantic, a global logistics center that sits on over 3,000 acres in Sparrows Point. Defense technology company Anduril Industries is investing $3.7 billion into the shipyard project, called Arsenal-2. The project will bring 3,100 jobs to Americans by 2034, the largest Maryland job creation in over a decade, according to Anduril's website. The facility was originally named the Bethlehem Sparrows Point Shipyard, a national producer for steel from 1887 until 1995. At its peak in the 1950s, the steel mill employed 30,000 people. About 200 yards away from the Tradepoint perimeter, protesters- both for and against Trump and his plans for the industrial site- lined Bethlehem Boulevard to vocalize their opinions. The Peoples Power Assembly organized the Trump out of Baltimore protest, while the pro-Trump protesters did not have a specified coordinator. "We need to also combat the polluter-in-chief," said Dustin Branch, the Baltimore Coordinator with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. "Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked and cancelled wind projects that would help lower our skyrocketing energy bills, and we need to stand up, fight back and be heard right now." Maryland Governor Wes Moore was originally scheduled to speak at the event, but Trump blocked him from speaking. According to one of the governor's spokespersons, Moore is "proud to welcome Anduril to Baltimore County," and that thousands of permanent jobs will come out of the investment. Moore did not attend the event. "I seriously doubt that he wanted to speak at that convention. It's like walking into a lion's den for him," said Baltimore resident Andre Powell. "They don't want to hear what Wes Moore has to say." On the other end of the road, Pro-Trump advocates waited to see if president's motorcade would drive past the protesting site. "I think it's 100% terrific," said pro-Trump advocate Bobby Berger. "He's gonna put 8,000 jobs back down on this port, which means a lot for the community." Jonathan Jelks, the president of the Chesapeake Youth Republican Club, said he attended the protest because he views many of the state's policies as bipartisan issues. "Remember why you're there: the people," he said, referring to Trump. "The people voted you in."
