10-01-2024

Anduril Industries in the US has developed a reusable Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) called Roadrunner, alongside a faster Roadrunner-M option with heavier explosives. The system can intercept hostile drones, exploding on impact. Roadrunner can, fully autonomously, detect hostile airborne systems, track and calculate their paths, and attack them. Anduril's in-house AI-powered Command and Control system can also present human operators with "a list of clear decision points".
