“Pioneering solutions for the software-defined conflicts of tomorrow.”

Anduril, established in 2017 by Palmer Luckey, Trae Stephens, Matt Grimm, and Brian Schimpf, is a defense technology firm that prioritizes AI, transforming the construction and implementation of military systems. In contrast to traditional defense contractors, Anduril provides software-defined, autonomous solutions that are swiftly developed, tested in the field, and continually enhanced. Central to its capabilities is Lattice, an AI-driven platform that combines sensors, drones, and autonomous systems to deliver real-time intelligence and decision support on the battlefield. Engineered to keep pace with emerging threats, Anduril provides the U.S. and its allies with flexible, scalable technologies that maintain a strategic edge in a new defense landscape.

Business Model

Anduril departs from conventional practices in the defense sector by adopting a product-first strategy rather than waiting for comprehensive government requirements. The company finances and develops its technologies independently from the start, then presents complete solutions that address actual mission demands. Rather than being compensated for building according to contract specifications, Anduril earns revenue based on the effectiveness and influence of its technology in operational settings. This "build for the mission, not for specifications" strategy enables Anduril to innovate more swiftly, implement solutions more quickly, and perpetually enhance systems through software-defined platforms like Lattice, providing the military with adaptable and contemporary capabilities at an extensive scale.

Competitive Edge

Anduril is transforming the defense sector by merging Silicon Valley creativity with mission-centric values. In contrast to conventional contractors, Anduril independently finances and quickly develops AI-driven systems such as its Lattice platform that cater to genuine military requirements, rather than sluggish, specification-based agreements. Its software-driven, self-operating technologies provide immediate insights, quicker decision processes, and ongoing upgrades. By emphasizing speed, flexibility, and operational effectiveness, Anduril is establishing a fresh benchmark for contemporary defense in a world influenced by AI.
