Thunder

Defense tech firm Anduril is in talks with investors for a potential $100 billion valuation funding round, which could rival companies like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. The company has seen rapid growth in military sales and recently announced new drones, including the Thunder vertical-takeoff-and-landing model, alongside increased revenue and workforce expansion.

Anduril, in partnership with Archer Aviation, unveiled Thunder, an autonomous attack rotorcraft designed to operate alongside crewed attack helicopters like the Apache and Cheyenne II. The hybrid-electric tilt-rotor aircraft features modular payload bays and mission capabilities including fire support, ISR, and counter-drone operations.

Anduril has launched a helicopter strike drone named 'Thunder'. The development coincides with militaries increasing their use of autonomous systems.
