Anduril acquires missile tracking and intelligence firm ExoAnalytical Solutions The company announced Wednesday that it is expanding its reach for U.S. defense interests in space.
With this acquisition, Anduril plans to mobilize ExoAnalytic’s extensive telescope and missile defense monitoring network to collect data that will enhance ground and satellite capabilities.
Gokul Subramanian, Anduril’s senior vice president of software engineering, said the defense technology firm aims to increase its visibility in space as it becomes the Department of Defense’s “warfighting domain.”
“We believe [Department of Defense] “It deserves the best catalog of everything going on in space across commercial and government-specific investments,” he told reporters. “We want to be part of that solution for the warfighter.”
President Donald Trump is trying to create a $175 billion defense system to protect the United States from missile threats and rebuild broken U.S. military systems.
Defense technology firms like Anduril are scaling up their capabilities to win future contracts for the sprawling project dubbed the “Gold Dome,” in which tracking systems and satellite data play a central role.
Founded in 2017 by Oculus creator Palmer Luckey, Anduril has been steadily scaling its domain portfolio and satellite defense abilities as they go beyond what is commonly accepted autonomous drone technology. This is the company’s first acquisition for its space business.
The company is also helping the U.S. Army build its $22 billion augmented reality headset program.
Media outlets reported this month that Anduril was in talks to raise billions of dollars and double its its valuation. Anduril last raised $2.5 billion in June at a $30.5 billion valuation.
