Military tech startup Anduril Industries is shaking up the U.S. defense industry as it is one of the few privately held technology companies finding success as a Defense Department contractor. But what makes the company’s software so unique that it is being used across multiple branches of the U.S. military and in both the Russia-Ukraine War and Israel-Hamas War?
WSJ explains how this startup is operating in order to disrupt the U.S. defense industry.

Smaller companies are typically selling their products to one of the primes. The process for contracting is so complex that a small company essentially can't get a contract for defense by itself.

Cost plus incentive contracts are supposed to transition to competitively bid fixed price contracts. This is only practical if the product is produced in large numbers and License to several manufacturers or there is a competing product (eg F-16 vs F-17/18) etc. Politics then comes in. Plants need to be kept open in certain congressman's electorate for instance and of course the voters and workers there do need stability.

Moneyball Military-a massive arsenal of smaller, lower-cost, autonomous systems that can be generated over the next few years, fielded rapidly and at scale to US forces, and transferred in large numbers to our allies and partners.

And like factoring in the value for “goodwill” in accounting for investments (usually social cause related), the value if an individual’s life, both in dollars lost (training, etc.) and in war edfort morale, is difficult to calculate but autonomous AI driven drone systems eliminate a huge portion of that portion of the sacrifices necessary for victory. There are A LOT of potential dangers with a system like that (like an enemy utilizing cyberattacks to turn your entire fleet against you simultaneously), but allowing yourself to be surpassed in that realm out of fear for the unknown is a recipe for disaster. I hope this company eats everyone’s lunch or forces them to innovate intensely.

Imagine if you can use a squad of marines & drones with a singular boat to take out a destroyer? That's the way our military is drifting for seaborne combat.

Pol Pot handed out machine guns to the least educated and most brutal of the people he could find and it all came to an end. Millions died. At the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine had a bunch of nuclear weapons and gave them to Russia with the promise that Russia would never invade. Do you think that Russia would have invaded if Ukraine still had their nuclear arsenal? How many dead Ukrainians and Russians, killed in the current conflict, would still be alive now?

As long as politicians are involved in the acquisition of defense materiel the big primes will always be there to appease them. Additionally the admirals and generals who were influential in the military retire to cushy executive and board level positions at the big primes. Nothing will change. Anduril's best strategy is to work with the people at the bottom of the acquisition chain and get their products to the war fighters who will then demonstrate to their superiors the capabilities of Anduril's products.

They said their goal is to buck the traditional trend with more advanced military hardware where user experience was typically made more difficult due to innovation that increased specialized training to operate it by making the software to operate the system extremely easy to use. A crude allegory would be training time to use a rifle vs to understand and identify tactics to use in real time in new/varied environments; their goal is for the operator to need the equivalent training investment for its use as the firearm training in the previous situation.
