Anduril To Double Size of Space Unit With Defense Acquisition

Anduril Industries Inc. is set to double the size of its space unit with the acquisition of national security company ExoAnalytic Solutions Inc., marking a significant expansion of the company’s space defense program.

Anduril’s space business, announced in 2024, focuses on using AI-powered technology to track and defend assets in orbit, like national security satellites.

The acquisition of California-based ExoAnalytic, which specializes in missile defense modeling, will add about 130 employees to Anduril’s current space-dedicated team of around 120, doubling the size of the group, according to Gokul Subramanian, senior vice president of engineering at Anduril.
