Partnership Goals

The deal between Boeing and Anduril seeks to bridge the gap between existing short- and long-range air defense systems with a cost-effective solution to counter low-flying, mid-range threats, including cruise missiles and militarized drones.

Anduril’s Senior Vice President Burhan Muzaffar said the deal with Boeing will deliver a scalable rocket motor capability for the U.S. Army, strengthening the industrial base and providing warfighters with reliable, modern capabilities.

“This partnership underscores our commitment to forming innovative, disruptive, and agile industry teams that deliver new capabilities to warfighters sooner,” said Bob Ciesla, Vice President, Boeing Precision Engagement Systems. “We’re confident that this partnership will result in a novel solution that helps meet the Army’s evolving air defense needs.”

According to Anduril, the Army expects the interceptors to improve existing systems, with plans to finalize a decision on companies to move forward to the prototype stage in 2026.
