Weapons systems used to be pretty hush hush. I wonder how much of the information you see these days is propaganda designed to mislead.

- justrealist 3y agoIt's only hush if it's already exclusively contracted to the DoD. If you're trying to sell a system, you were always hyping it up.
- gantron 3y agoThis really isn’t to sell any Roadrunners. Anduril has surely been talking to the right program offices and relevant government entities for some time now. This is more to establish the company’s general credibility & draw in new talent.
- justrealist 3y agoThat's a bold assumption. Anduril is still fighting to get a foothold in DoD the procurement processes which is dominated by the big players (LM, Boeing, Raytheon). Never under-estimate how byzantine that process is. Tbh this could be to convince people within the DoD to stop blanket rejecting their bids just because they are new and unfamiliar.

- justrealist 3y agoThat is not the same as a purchase order!
