Anduril unveils Roadrunner Roadrunner-M

Anduril unveils Roadrunner & Roadrunner-M Anduril Industries 1 дек. 2023 г. Malicious actors are increasingly using state-owned and commercially-available drone technology to threaten the personnel, infrastructure, and assets of the United States and our allies around the world. Anduril Industries has built a family of systems to counter such threats — and we’re thrilled to welcome the newest addition to that family: Roadrunner. Roadrunner is a modular, twin-jet powered autonomous air vehicle with extraordinary performance at low cost. Vertical takeoff and landing capability gives Roadrunner the flexibility to rapidly launch from and safely return to any location, pairing high subsonic speed with exceptional agility and stability. Roadrunner-M is a high-explosive interceptor variant of Roadrunner for ground-based air defense that can rapidly identify, intercept and destroy an array of aerial threats, including large aircraft that are up to 100 times more expensive, or be safely recovered and reused at near-zero cost. Roadrunner and Roadrunner-Munition (Roadrunner-M) is an operationally-assessed and validated capability that is ready to deploy today.
