According to Investing.com, a vice president at Anduril stated that the company may produce Steelfin missiles in Europe. The report did not include additional details about timing, location, or specific customers for European production.
Background
Anduril announced the Steelfin family in 2026 as a reconfigurable surface-to-air missile system designed to counter cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic threats. The company has won significant U.S. Army contracts for air-defense systems, including interceptor programs.
