Anduril Industries and Voyager Technologies have formed a strategic partnership covering propulsion and other technologies for US weapons and missile defense programs.
The agreement will support development, testing, qualification, and production as weapons programs move toward higher-rate manufacturing.
Voyager has existing contracts worth more than $60 million to supply Anduril with technologies including solid rocket motors and divert and attitude control systems. Those contracts predate the new deal, which formalizes and expands the companies’ collaboration.
“This strategic partnership with Voyager lets us build on work we’ve already proven together and exemplifies our shared commitment to developing, rapidly iterating, and delivering the technology for our nation’s most complex security challenges,” Anduril founder Palmer Luckey said.
Voyager, meanwhile, said it has invested more than $500 million in propulsion, energetics, and manufacturing capacity.
Anduril Builds Production Network
The Voyager agreement is part of Anduril’s broader effort to expand production through partnerships with companies that bring specialized manufacturing and engineering capabilities.
In September, Anduril and Boeing advanced their work on a midrange interceptor for the US Army’s Integrated Fires Protection Capability Increment 2 program. Their team was selected to continue into the next phase of the competition, combining Boeing’s airframe and seeker technologies with an Anduril solid rocket motor.
In July, the company teamed up with Elbit Systems of America to pursue the US Army’s Self-Propelled Howitzer Modernization program, bringing autonomy and battlefield networking capabilities to Elbit’s SIGMA artillery system.
In April, Anduril announced a partnership with UK-based Kraken Technology Group to produce small unmanned surface vessels for the US Navy. Under the agreement, Anduril plans to manufacture Kraken’s K5 KRAKEN and K7 SABRE vessels at US facilities and integrate its Lattice autonomy software and naval payloads.
