Defense company Anduril Industries said it will provide solid rocket motors for Boeing’s entrant in a bid for the U.S. Army’s medium-range interceptor missile program.
The Boeing-Anduril team aims to complement existing short- and long-range air defense systems with an affordable, capable solution to counter increasing low-flying, mid-range threats such as cruise missiles and militarized drones, Anduril said in a statement today.
“Boeing and Anduril are partnering to deliver a critical, scalable rocket motor systems capability for the U.S. Army,” said Burhan Muzaffar, senior vice president at Costa Mesa-based Anduril. “This partnership is a major step forward in strengthening the industrial base and ensuring our warfighters receive the reliable, modern capabilities they need.”
The Army tentatively plans to choose companies to move forward to the prototype stage of the competition in 2026, according to Anduril.
