Anduril Industries Secures $1.5 Billion to Revolutionize Defense Manufacturing

The defense tech startup aims to produce tens of thousands of autonomous weapons annually with its new Arsenal-1 factory.

Anduril's valuation has surged to $14 billion following the latest funding round.
The company plans to establish Arsenal-1, a 5 million-square-foot factory for mass-producing autonomous military systems.
Founders Fund and Sands Capital co-led the Series F round, with participation from Fidelity Management and Baillie Gifford.
Anduril has won significant contracts, including one for the US Air Force's Collaborative Combat Aircraft program.
The startup's approach draws inspiration from Tesla and aims to disrupt traditional defense manufacturing.
