Original post

Today, the @usairforce selected Anduril for the production phase of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program.

We are now on contract to deliver production FQ-44 fighter aircraft to support continued testing, validation, and, ultimately, operational fielding.

From prototype to production in two years. The first new company to win a fighter aircraft program in more than 50 years.

Anduril’s Lattice for Mission Autonomy will also power the next phase of the CCA program, bringing mission autonomy from concept to production-ready capability.

One software stack, any aircraft. Affordable mass demands mission autonomy.

@anduriltech @usairforce Me when I slap a sticker on someone else’s horrifically undersized, underdeveloped aircraft but I donated to career politicians so I won the contract

@anduriltech @usairforce This is pretty badass. It looks mean too. Can we please get a A10 modern replacement. I loved the specialty fighters of yester yore. Every aircraft was the best at it's specific role. Love the new tech, You guys and gals are doing amazing things at Anduril. Thank you.

@anduriltech @usairforce Can it be neutered and made available for civilians? I’m sitting in traffic thinking there has got to be a better way to get to grandma’s house.

Palmer Luckey should spend more time on IPO instead of mafia game influencer content. 50 years ago when General Dynamics won the last fighter contract they had already been public 20 years and were only valued $2bn in today’s dollars vs Anduril valued at $60bn. Even with A/B class structure retail investors deserve to participate in capitalism
