Anduril: The Business of Defense

Isegoria introduces us to Anduril, a defense contractor that moves like a startup. The Peter Thiel backed venture is a software based company making great strides in a traditionally hardware based marketplace. This sentence seemed to sum up the company, "Designing from first principles allows Anduril to create novel defense systems."

Isegoria does a nice synopsis of the company but if you want to learn more I highly recommend this article which delves into the founding of the company, the surprisingly non-competitive nature of current Department of Defense procurement, and Anduril's current product line.

America needs companies like Anduril because the technology growth of our enemy countries can be a bit scary.
