Today, Anduril is a little-known defense startup. Within five years, it will be as well-known as Lockheed Martin.

 

The Pentagon recently selected Anduril to lead the Air Force’s flagship AI drone program. The goal is to build 1,000 unmanned aircraft and have them ready by 2030. This is the new Air Force. Human fighter pilots will barely exist in a few years.

 

Check out Anduril’s winning design, Fury. It’s a fully autonomous drone that attacks in swarms traveling at 700 mph.

...Palmer Luckey, Joe Lonsdale (co-founder of Palantir), and other outspoken founders like them are inspiring young tech minds to help their country. “Hey kid, wanna work for Google optimizing ads, or at Anduril helping the US military win the AI war?” More and more of the brightest kids are now choosing option #2.

...We hear a lot about AI destroying jobs. But consider this: the world's best drone pilot isn't some grizzled Air Force veteran. She’s a teenage girl from Thailand who developed her skills playing video games (seriously).
