Anduril IndustriesIn Development
Autonomous, series hybrid-electric tilt-rotor Group 5 attack aircraft co-developed with Archer Aviation and unveiled at the Farnborough International Airshow on July 20, 2026. Designed as a pilotless 'loyal wingman' to fly in formation with crewed helicopters such as the AH-64 Apache and MV-75, cruising above 200 knots with a range of thousands of nautical miles. Archer's commercial variant of the same airframe is called 'Halo.'

Announced next steps from Anduril Industries that mention Thunder.
Unspecified
At MSPO Kielce on September 9, 2026 Anduril pitched Fury as a loyal wingman for Poland's F-35s and Thunder as a force multiplier for the 96 AH-64E Apaches due from 2028, which would make Poland the first European user of either aircraft. Talks with the Ministry of National Defence were ongoing and no aircraft contract had been announced as of September 10, 2026.

Archer Aviation and defense company Anduril unveiled a jointly developed autonomous hybrid-electric tiltrotor aircraft at Farnborough on July 20, offered in a commercial variant Archer calls Halo and a defense variant Anduril calls Thunder that share a common architecture. The series hybrid-electric design takes off vertically and transitions to wing-borne cruise, with Anduril saying Thunder is built to cruise above 200 knots and range thousands of nautical miles as an autonomous 'loyal wingman' flying alongside crewed aircraft. First flight is targeted for 2027.

AI-powered command-and-control software platform that fuses data from thousands of sensors and autonomous systems into a single operational picture, letting small teams direct large fleets of machines. Lattice underpins nearly every Anduril product and is increasingly sold as infrastructure in its own right - it is the software backbone of the Army's SBMC soldier systems and the tactical C2 layer for national counter-drone defense.
Jet-powered, semi-autonomous Collaborative Combat Aircraft designed to fly as a robotic wingman alongside F-35s, F-22s, and the F-47. Fury flew 556 days after clean-sheet design start and in June 2026 was ordered into production by the Air Force - the first combat jet produced by a defense startup. Anduril executives said on September 14, 2026 that the unit cost is well below $20 million at currently contemplated quantities, beating the earlier ~$30M (about a third of an F-35) target, and that a Fury has already flown in formation alongside F-35s, though the fighter is not yet controlling it.
Twin-turbojet, vertical take-off-and-landing autonomous interceptor that flies at high subsonic speed to defeat drones and cruise-missile-class threats. The Roadrunner-M variant carries a high-explosive warhead but can land and be reused at near-zero cost if a kill isn't needed - an economics-first answer to the drone threat.
Family of low-cost, air-breathing autonomous cruise missiles (Barracuda-100/250/500) designed for mass production with commercial components - Anduril's answer to America's munitions-capacity problem. Variants span air, ground (surface-launched SLB/Barracuda-500M), and pallet-airdrop launch, with the 500-class reaching roughly 900 km. A May 2026 production agreement with the Department of War covers at least 3,000 surface-launched Barracuda-500M systems over three years (~1,000/year, first deliveries H1 2027), a July 2026 framework agreement targets thousands of air-launched Barracuda-500s per year, Poland's PGZ will build the surface-launched Barracuda-500M locally, and an Embraer MoU is integrating a palletized Barracuda-500M on the C-390 transport.
Extra-large autonomous undersea vehicle co-developed with the Royal Australian Navy for stealthy, long-range intelligence, surveillance, and strike missions; its commercial baseline is the Dive-XL. After delivering three prototypes ahead of schedule, Anduril won a A$1.7B program of record in September 2025, opened a purpose-built Sydney factory, and delivered the first production boat in November 2025.
A new class of autonomous surface vessel co-developed with South Korea's HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, combining HD Hyundai's shipbuilding scale with Anduril's software-defined autonomy and mission-systems integration. Originally aimed at the Navy's Modular Attack Surface Craft program, which the Navy cancelled in March 2026 in favor of a new Medium Unmanned Surface Vessel 'marketplace' that did not include Anduril in its initial seven-company demonstration cohort; Anduril and HD Hyundai are building the vessel independently.
A family of modular two-stage surface-to-air interceptors with a common terminal-stage airframe, avionics and flight controls and a first-stage booster configurable for range, performance and launchers including PAC-3, CAML, Typhoon and containerized canisters. Anduril pitches it against cruise, ballistic and hypersonic threats and as a lower-cost alternative to PAC-3 MSE. Ballistic tests with representative air vehicles are complete; flight tests are planned in 2027. No production contract has been disclosed.
