The company specializes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/outlook\/2021\/12\/06\/anduril-boss-in-an-era-of-strategic-competition-we-need-artificially-intelligent-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\">software development and artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This latest funding increase \u2014 dubbed \u201cSeries E\u201d \u2014 is credited with \u201cnearly doubling the company\u2019s previous valuation in June 2021,\u201d the company said in a statement. Startup firms go through a series of funding, with what is generally the first or second round dubbed Series A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Series A money is meant to help pay employees, optimize a startup\u2019s products and develop a marketing strategy, according to the employment website Indeed. If a company survives a period of six months to two years with that early funding, it can then seek Series B funding, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe new funding will enable Anduril to accelerate research and development to bring new, cutting edge, autonomous defense capabilities to the market and continue to mature and scale its current business lines with the U.S. Department of Defense as well as U.S. allies and partners,\u201d the company said. \u201cAnduril is building software-defined and hardware-enabled capabilities that solve mission needs with autonomy, today. Autonomous systems will enable the military to operate faster and at greater scale across both tactical and strategic operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The funding was led by Valor Equity Partners, which previously invested in Anduril, with participation from Founders Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, 8VC, Lux Capital, Thrive Capital, DFJ Growth, Elad Gil, Lachy Groom, Human Capital, Marlinspike, WCM Investment Management, MVP Ventures, Lightspeed Ventures and the US Innovative Technology Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril won a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2022\/01\/24\/us-special-operations-command-picks-anduril-to-lead-counter-drone-integration-work-in-1b-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\">$1 billion contract<\/a> in January from U.S. Special Operations Command to lead its counter-drone systems integration work.
