The company plans to build a Tesla-style, software-optimized factory to manufacture autonomous drones and other battlefield tech.
Palmer Luckey has come a long way from hacking together virtual reality headsets in a garage. Today, the Oculus VR founder’s defense tech startup, Anduril, announced that it has raised $1.5 billion in addition to developing a new manufacturing platform to produce “tens of thousands of autonomous weapons” a year.
Anduril has already ramped up its manufacturing capabilities in recent years, with a factory in Mississippi for building solid rocket motors and another in Rhode Island for producing drones. In a manifesto titled “Rebuilding the Arsenal of Democracy,” Anduril says the moves are designed to counter a critical US military weakness that was exposed when the war in Ukraine quickly depleted US weapons caches.
