Palmer Luckey’s Defense Company Is Making Attack Drones Now
Oculus founder and fallen Facebook exec Palmer Luckey is dipping his toes into military weaponry.
Luckey’s new venture, Anduril Industries, just revealed that it is not just making security surveillance systems for land borders and military bases—it’s making attack drones too.
In a pair of profiles, one in Bloomberg, one in NBC, the company demonstrated its new technology, a drone that can autonomously identify a target and fly at up to 200 miles per hour to knock them out of the air. The drone fits into Anduril's existing perimeter defense hardware and software suite, which includes other drones and surveillance towers.
