Anduril United Kingdom Base Defense Demonstration

[@vic-g]

This AI drone defense system looks incredibly promising. I'm eagerly anticipating a future IPO from Anduril, and I can't wait for the opportunity to invest in such an innovative company. Keep up the good work!

[@NSPlayer]

I hope they always stay private worldwide, the public and others should never be able to make money from this stuff and it needs to stay private without public opinion snd politics affecting them.

[@farzana6676]

​@@NSPlayer Politics can affect private companies too

Please demonstrate during storm with 25 drones in a swarm

[@mariusmartinsen2064]

😂 How the f enemy drones would be launched in the storm?

[@wsafd]

Peoples obsession with cheap swarms are crazy. Look at the leaked internal documents on the price of a shahed drone, its equivalent to a tomahawk missile. If you are thinking 25 cheap aliexpress drones, EW systems will make quick work of them.

[@farzana6676]

​@@wsafd No way Shahed costs as much as a tomahawk.

[@thekraken1173]

@@wsafd A tomahawk costs 2 mil. A shahed costs 20k.

[@deadknuckles6346]

@@wsafdthat’s what the AI is for you’ll have to EMP the thing which I doubt the enemy has go ahead and jam the controllers signal all you want once AI knows where you are it’s game over 💯

[@VashGames]

Neat way of bringing the hammer down on the opposition. Wonder how this system stand up to maybe a swarm of small drones several dozen strong.

[@ericanderson3534]

Why is the gimbal on the ghost white while the rest of the craft is black?

[@JohnNash-b5l]

They must be racist 🤔😅

[@nicktubby9710]

It's modular, so they can put anything there. Either they kept it white so we can see what's swappable, or they just swapped something out themselves and didn't have a black version of whatever they put in.

[@veption33]

Why y'all put same radio sound as BO2

[@pefry1324]

Anduril is nice, but time is running and there is already a problem with a huge number of cheap drones around 400-500/pc USD which can attack a facility...yes monitoring is necessary but also the ability to continuously deal with numbers is a key ... imagine you have to deal with 100 drones for 3 days... so maybe burnt motherboard of an attacking drone will be more sexy kind of defense

[@2Sage-7Poets]

what if an enemy drone hunt your drone and destroy it?

[@aditya-manoj]

Woww interesting!!!!

[@cazafpv8312]

how do it work against fpv drone?

[@kapitan.serdel3657]

cool very interesting

[@-zerocool-]

What about multiple threats

[@indio4790]

Wow ❤🤝🤝🤝

[@zerobow9413]

Happy joy joy....

[@joecold8200]

bruh, whoever came up with your drone attack failed.

[@cxvcnxbzfdhjlaks]

He's pushing a bootstrap styled button labelled "Clear to Attack" lmfao

[@TaskSwitcherify]

This is literally Skynet So the interceptor drone just collides with the target? Kinetic energy only? Why not apply an electric charge, a net, or something more impactful?

[@BosonCollider]

Because it can bonk the enemy more than once, and navigate itself back to the charger without even requiring a human to reload it. This means you can have a lot of them and actually win against the attacker in a battle of attrition.

[@TaskSwitcherify]

@@BosonCollider You misunderstand my question or this drone's concept (the end of the video). It literally collides with the enemy, so there's no navigating back, unless somehow it can survive that intentional impact - and I doubt it can.

[@moneytalks3559]

I think that interceptor drone is designed to be durable enough to survive the impact. They also do have other variant packed with explosive to take out bigger drone.@@TaskSwitcherify

[@notsam498]

Why do with more what you can do with less? I think a lot of people miss andurils real sell. It isn't the flashiest it the sexiest, it's meant to answer the economic issues of attrition. The anvil is a pretty simple drone, if it can strike twice effectively that's probably a W. that thing is a beefed up quad, it's the literal military grade cheap drone. One things most people miss as well, is this isn't the system designed to stop a 100 drone swarm, that falls to ciws, flak and newer flak like systems. Those systems though are meant for a battlefield. You didn't want to be running high power radar to defend a base near a civilian population just as an example.

[@thorney36]

Code name : Angry brick

[@AdmV0rl0n]

I will be blunt. The air to air drone component could/should have a CIWS primary/secondary and a 3rd line missile battery. The defense of the base has to be multi-role - its fine to define an anti-drone defense. This ends up being a monoculture solution. And I'll add, this solution looks like a very expensive one unable to deal with swarms. If you have 96 drones over head appearing - how does this system work then? A lot of holes in this solution.

[@yeahbutytho126]

Should you really be giving the test site co-ordinates? I would be grateful if you remove that as I live in the village and dont want to be targeted anymore than we already are.

[@emoney822]

To the moon 🌚

[@JohnNash-b5l]

Why didn't the US base in Jordan have this to save the lives of 3 troops killed by an Iranian drone 🧐🤔

[@hadifarhani1455]

Excuse me, why are you providing this technical information section, doesn't it increase the potential risks????

[@metocvideo]

Nice but if it cannot deal with swarm attacks of 4 or 5 drones incoming then it is a chocolate teapot. The Ukrainians could defeat it easily.

[@มดแดง-ฃ3ข]

ถ้าเราทำถนนได้สำเร็จเราก็จะลงทุนด้านพลังงานที่ใช้ไม่มีวันหมดเป้าหมายของเราคือดวงอาทิตย์

[@tatradak9781]

Hang on this total loss deployment, the anvil is destroyed!! That's not a very good system...surely Anvil needs to do what it says and destroy the object not itself as well!!!

[@TheXshot]

It's just like an intercept missile.

[@roberttaubman4418]

Cheaper to replace drones than use a missile or other system to intercept. Plus you have very little chance to cause collateral damage. The damage to drones is likely to be superficial so they can also be repaired as long as the chassis is well made the rest just bolts on.

[@samgillespie]

The thing seems to steady itself post-impact

[@Swirve347]

No anvil stays alive it just spins out then fly's back when the search for other threats is complete

[@MarcDunivan]

Right. The Anvil needs a gun to shoot projectiles with a proximity fuse...boom. No need to damage the quad-copter with a ramming maneuver.

[@mumblety96]

Should not be that difficult for the open source community to match / overmatch this. Stock up on cheap GPUs with AI cores, folks!

[@ovariantrolley2327]

Rather than sending even more UK money to american billionaires like we do with amazon they should have funded the UKs laser system which looks way more efficient and promising

[@christiancole5270]

Do both

[@murlocksftw]

What does the laser accomplish if the enemy wraps its drone in tinfoil? Or if the enemy drone flies too high for lasers to be effective. Or if it rains? Lasers sound cool but have way to many weak points to ever be a solo solution.

[@massoverride478]

not very impressed

[@Unforseenak]

LMAO this has to be a joke, this wont stop 1000 drones.

[@kosteaproduction]

Do you think they will lay all their cards on the table? Pew pew pew 🔫

[@mariusmartinsen2064]

Who can launch 1000 drones without being noticed miles away? Or 1000 drones from single estate car? 🤣 System demonstrated is just for base, storage, compound protection against close encounter. Country air space is protected differently

[@JohnNash-b5l]

they need a laser also

[@Nomad7541]

Pls send to Ukraine this things 🙏

[@MarcusAurelius7777]

Duh UK has been buying US tech since WWII lol 🤔💯

[@chadj1797]

Yeah exactly lol - brits don't produce their own stuff.

[@philchristmas4071]

Ofcourse they buy our tech. Just like we buy from them. For example, the British make great artillery. That's why they developed the M777 and M119s for us. We work great together. 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

[@Mr.mysterious76]

The same way the US has been buying British tech
