Anduril Industries is an American defense technology company specializing in autonomous systems and AI-powered solutions for military applications. While traditionally focused on land, air, and sea systems like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and counter-UAS technologies, Anduril is expanding into the space domain. They are designing and building their own spacecraft and payloads, including on-orbit edge processing and resilient satellite command and control, with plans to launch integrated systems by late 2025. Anduril partners with companies like Apex, Impulse Space, and OpenAI to deliver advanced capabilities to the U.S. and its allies, particularly for space domain awareness and national security missions, with the U.S. Space Force as a key potential customer.
