The Defense Department has selected Anduril Industries’ Barracuda-500 cruise missile for testing as part of the next phase of a prototype project.
The project “aims to create a highly-producible, modular, and affordable air vehicle that will serve as the baseline architecture for large-scale production of next-generation airborne platforms,” Costa Mesa-based Anduril said in a statement on its website today.
“Over the next phase of the effort, Anduril will demonstrate Barracuda-500’s autonomous teaming capabilities, further prove out the manufacturability of the system, and highlight the modular architecture that enables its adaptability to future mission needs,” Anduril said.
