Another deadly tool for the strike packages.
It’s hard to overstate just how much the strike (or kamikaze) drones have become a defining feature of today’s battlefields.
Since day one in his second presidential term, Donald J. Trump demanded from Pentagon contractors strike drones that were inexpensive and deadly – and that’s what he is getting.
Now, as the US is undertaking a military operation against Iran and proxy groups, the Lucas drones – an adaptation of the Iranian Shaheed – is being widely used, with a new model expected soon.
Anduril Industries announced that it is to begin building its new high-speed combat drone, FURY, the ‘loyal wingman’ , in the coming days.
The ‘Fury’ will be manufactured at a new US facility in Ohio.
Defense-tech company Anduril built “Fury,” an unmanned jet powered by artificial intelligence and designed to engage the enemy before a manned fighter jet arrives. Founder Palmer Luckey says the U.S. is in a race with China to develop similar technology.

FURY: “We [were] competing against Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, & in the end Anduril beat all of them.”

Reuters reported:
“Amid cornfields and horse farms 20 miles (32 km) south of Columbus, Ohio, the defense tech start-up is expecting its $1 billion Arsenal-1 autonomous systems manufacturing campus to employ more than 4,000 people over the next decade, starting with roughly 250 by the end of this year, officials said on Thursday.”

“Anduril is one of a new but growing group of small defense firms hoping to win lucrative Pentagon contracts for next-generation weapons. The Trump administration hopes the newer firms will help upend weapons manufacturing by delivering cutting-edge technology more quickly and at a lower cost.”

“Rather than designing products first and worrying about production later, the company bakes manufacturability in from Day 1 — choosing commercial materials such as aluminum over titanium, using composite techniques borrowed from the recreational boat industry, and selecting a commercial business jet engine for the FURY program specifically because of its well-established supply chain and maintenance ecosystem.
Production of the company’s FURY autonomous aircraft will be the first to launch at the facility. The FURY is Anduril’s entrant for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program – part of an Air Force plan for a next-generation family of systems, an effort to equip crewed fighter jets and other planes with an uncrewed platform that would fly alongside the human pilots.”
