Defense Startup Anduril Secretly Enters Hypersonic Weapons Development
Defense technology company Anduril Industries is reportedly developing hypersonic missiles and drones, a significant expansion of its portfolio. The secret program was revealed through a company job posting for a "chief engineer, hypersonic ground test." This move positions Anduril to compete directly with established defense giants like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon in a high-priority sector. The development aligns with the Pentagon's increasing focus on acquiring and deploying advanced hypersonic capabilities. Anduril's entry into this field marks a strategic shift for the company, previously known for its AI-powered surveillance and counter-drone systems.
