The California-based defense startup and Germany’s largest arms manufacturer will jointly develop a European variant of Anduril’s Barracuda—a low-cost, mass-producible drone—and Fury, a high-performance, multi-mission drone capable of carrying missiles.

The partnership aims to expand the range and capabilities of autonomous mission systems available to European defense customers. The autonomous drones developed by Anduril will be integrated into Rheinmetall’s Battlesuite, a digital platform that links weapons systems for battlefield coordination.
