Defense company Anduril Industries said today it is partnering with German arms maker Rheinmetall to develop and build the Fury fighter-like drone, the Barracuda cruise missile and solid rocket motors for European defense. Financial terms were not released.
The systems will be jointly developed and produced by the two companies, incorporating suppliers and industrial partners throughout Europe.
“This is a different model of defense collaboration, one built on shared production, operational relevance, and mutual respect for sovereignty,” said Brian Schimpf, CEO of Costa Mesa-based Anduril. “Together with Rheinmetall, we’re building systems that can be produced quickly, deployed widely, and adapted as NATO missions evolve.”
Fury is being tested this summer, according to Anduril.
