| 2026-03-13 | acquisition | Anduril Acquires ExoAnalytic — 400 Telescopes, Golden Dome PlayAnduril Industries made its first space acquisition, absorbing ExoAnalytic Solutions and its network of 400 telescopes that track spacecraft in high orbits worldwide. The acquisition doubles Anduril's space team to 250-plus employees. ExoAnalytic's 130 staff are being fully integrated — not maintained as a subsidiary. The move positions Anduril for the Golden Dome missile defense program and broader space domain awareness. Anduril is also launching three satellites this year as self-funded R&D, expanding Palmer Luckey's defense empire from autonomous drones and underwater vehicles into space surveillance and missile defense infrastructure. | TechCrunch |
