Anduril acquires radar, command-and-control businesses
Software is also part of the equation for this move by Anduril, which is looking to further scale up its production efforts.
Anduril has acquired a pair of business units from Numerica Corp. to further build out air and missile defense offerings amid the former's push into hyperscale production of autonomous weapons and other hardware systems.
Numerica opened for business in 1996 to build ballistic missile defense systems, air defense sensors such as compact radars, and software for advanced battlespace awareness and command-and-control functionalities.
Those products will now become part of Anduril’s offerings in mission systems and C2, Anduril said Thursday.
Numerica’s Spyglass and Spark radar technology are part of the transaction, after which Anduril will make those and other products out of its future Arsenal-1 hyperscale factory.
Anduril will also incorporate Numerica’s C2 enabling software, called Mimir, into its Lattice open source software platform that uses artificial intelligence to connect systems and sensors in the field.
Back in August, Anduril unveiled its plan for the Arsenal-1 facility on the heels of securing approximately $1.5 billion in new venture capital funding.
Investment bank KippsDeSanto & Co. advised Numerica on the transaction.
