Chief Strategy Officer Christian Brose told C4ISRNET that Blue Force\u2019s emphasis on UAV hardware development and digital engineering aligns well with Anduril\u2019s investments in mission autonomy software and its vision to field large quantities of uncrewed systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe acquisition of Blue Force Technologies and the additional investment that we will provide to scale up the work that team is doing, as well as the future work that we\u2019re already starting to do together \u2014 all of that is something we believe in to our core,\u201d Brose said in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blueforcetech.com\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Force<\/a> has been developing its Fury uncrewed system, which is designed to perform fighter aircraft-like missions. Anduril in May unveiled its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/industry\/2023\/05\/03\/anduril-unveils-software-to-manage-hordes-of-drones\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lattice for Mission Autonomy software platform<\/a>, a hardware-agnostic capability that can link various autonomous systems to perform complex operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril\u2019s acquisition of Blue Force follows its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2023\/06\/26\/anduril-moves-into-hypersonics-with-acquisition-of-rocket-motor-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\">purchase in June of solid rocket motor manufacturer Adranos<\/a>, significantly broadening the six-year-old technology firm\u2019s scope. Brose said the company is at the \u201cbeginning of our journey,\u201d and hinted at future acquisitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt all is in the service of this vision of a larger scale, larger quantity fielding of autonomous capabilities in all domains,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to continue that journey, not just through the work that we\u2019re doing at present in terms of autonomous undersea vehicles and now autonomous fighter aircraft and solid rocket motors and weapons and loitering munitions, but additional things that are yet to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s near-term growth comes as Congress and the Pentagon emphasize the need to field large quantities of commercially available systems, particularly drones and AI capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks unveiled Replicator, a plan to field <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2023\/08\/28\/pentagon-unveils-replicator-drone-program-to-compete-with-china\/\" target=\"_blank\">thousands of attritable drones over the next two years<\/a>, late last month. The Defense Innovation Unit \u2014 which helps push commercial technology to DoD users \u2014 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/07\/20\/pentagon-innovation-hub-wants-to-field-commercial-tech-at-scale\/\">crafting a plan to deliver off-the-shelf tech in larger quantities<\/a>. And House lawmakers are pushing for $1 billion in the fiscal 2024 spending bill<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/06\/23\/house-panel-eyes-billion-dollar-pentagon-fund-to-push-commercial-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\"> to fund a \u201chedge portfolio\u201d<\/a> made up of commercially available systems like low-cost drones and satellites and agile communication nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of the moves that are emerging in this year\u2019s legislative cycle are incredible, the Replicator initiative is fantastic,\u201d Brose said. \u201cOf course, the devil is going to be in the details, making sure that the department completes the swing, that it requests the right amount of resources, that it\u2019s not just kind of putting old wine in new bottles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the coming months, he said he\u2019ll be closely watching DoD\u2019s plans to procure Replicator drones and create incentives for \u201ca different kind of industrial base\u201d to meet its needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe only thing that is going to matter in that respect is the amount of resources the department and the Congress are committing to the procurement of these types of systems,\u201d Brose said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Anduril\u2019s role in the department\u2019s vision, Brose said he thinks the company has a lot to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt seems very clear that this is where we want to go,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything in our power to help them get there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anduril\u2019s acquisition of Blue Force follows its purchase in June of solid rocket motor manufacturer
