Anyways, in 2017 he started Anduril Industries, which specializes in "autonomy-focused defense technology." They are a happening company - I suspect we will see quite a lot from them as time goes on!

Anduril is one of the new companies trying to upend the military acquisition cycle.
They are working with the Australians on an underwater drone,
