Defense slop startups loooove prioritizing mass production capabilities and cost-scaling over bespoke technology. Of course air dominance benefits from attritable swarms of low-cost aircraft, but these approaches are replicable by any adversary. U.S. dominance stems from…
When you accidentally unplug the flow sensor instead of GPS💔 P.S. if anyone has spare x500 props I pay handsomely
First Lockheed CMMT announcement left Anduril Barracuda deep fried. This week Kratos is leaving Castellion and Hermeus in tatters. Defense VCs in 3 years when they find out: "huh, I guess the primes can do the 10x cheaper thing, they just slow rolled it" twz.com/air/kratos-has…
Nice. All that matters is capability. Still slightly curious about average Shahed destruction cost to Shahed price ratio
Ukrainian forces released a video showing Rheinmetall's Skynex anti-aircraft artillery system successfully intercepting Russian Shaheds.
Let’s buy a nice home overlooking the Yuma Proving Grounds…just me u and LMT enjoying the smooth Yuma asphalt….

GPS-jamming is a massive problem on modern battlefields; we just cracked it. I'm a physics+aerospace dropout, and my co-founder is an ivy league cs student(D1 fencer) For less than $600 we've built L-NAV, a dual-use unjammable replacement to GPS for military drones: • allows…
insane
4mo ago: We bought a used forklift & strapped an Ai kit to it 4mo later: We’re moving hundreds of pallets a day in a customers warehouse Yesterday I got 3 requests totaling 100+ forklifts We have to scale right now V2 coming soon

Numbers begin to get silly when your counter UAS costs $35k per deployment and the target is $700
shahed-136 type drones (piston engine one way attack) might be in trouble between this and Ukraine doing FPV drone-derived interceptors. Kind of leaves an open question of what will actually tackle the very low end (eg FPV)
If anduril beats general atomics for CCA i will eat 5 spiders and get a buzz cut and post it here
What kind of strings were pulled to give training UAS a cca contract? Btw where’s the weapons bay? Acquihire moment repurposed product moment
$150k for a cruise missile just broke the hearts of every defense vc who invested in “10x cheaper and better” slop
Just a reminder when hearing about low-cost cruise missiles like Lockheed Martin’s CMMT or Anduril’s Barracuda M500 that these weapons may be cheap… but they are NOT small. (I’m 6-feet, ~250 lbs)
So is everyone is just shoving LLMs into robots and saying it’s Jarvis?
