Anduril launches Armory, an online marketplace for defense tech
Anduril has created Armory, an online catalog of its drones, sensors and other products available for purchase by military contractors and equipment makers, seeking to expand beyond large defense primes.
What happened
Anduril Industries announced the launch of Armory, a searchable database of defense products the company has in stock and ready to sell. The catalog includes drones like Wisp and Voyager, undersea vehicles such as Dive-LD, and jammers and rocket motors. Customers—primarily other defense contractors and original equipment manufacturers—can submit inquiries through the site, which connects them to Anduril sales staff to handle regulations and complete purchases.
Chief business officer Matthew Steckman told Axios that Anduril is building inventory ahead of expected demand. "We have the demand coming in — orders booked," he said. "But we're always building to a slightly higher rate than the orders booked, because the history of our business has told us to do that."
The move marks a shift in Anduril's strategy. Historically the company has pursued large government prime contracts. Armory is designed to open a new channel for business-to-business sales with smaller contractors and integrators. Notably, weapons like the Barracuda missile were not listed on the site as of the announcement date.
Background
Anduril, founded in 2017, is a private defense-technology company valued at over $60 billion as of 2026. It is best known for building autonomous drones and the Lattice software platform that allows military users to control and coordinate multiple unmanned systems. The company has won major Air Force contracts to produce the Fury drone, a tactical drone designed to fly alongside manned fighters like the F-35. Anduril has traditionally focused on large prime contracts with the U.S. military and allied governments rather than selling components or finished products through intermediaries.
What to watch next
Watch for uptake from defense contractors, integrations of Anduril products into other companies' systems, and whether the company adds weapons or other restricted items to Armory as regulatory frameworks evolve.
