Anduril is already beating Lockheed Martin for defense contracts. They are becoming a big player in Aerospace/Defense.

[@SATCOMGoose]

@@user-wn2ho5ij5f CCA is not a small contract. They are definitely not just competing for small business contracts. They not only beat Lockheed Martin which is really the biggest Defense Company in the world but they beat Northrop and Boeing in that same contract.

[@willymac5036]

@@user-wn2ho5ij5fany way you look at it, Anduril has been a net good force for American taxpayers. Anduril is forcing LM and Boeing to actually COMPETE again. Anduril has only existed for 7 years (founded in 2017) so of course they’ve only been bidding for smaller contracts. That will not be the case forever, I assure you. There are a LOT of contracts that the US DOD awards that have requirements for the size and logistical footprint of your company just to be qualified for the contract. I remember when the war in Iraq kicked off in 2003. The US military has an ENORMOUS logistical footprint, and they were looking for a company that could provide logistics services for the military right NOW. KBR was the ONLY company that existed that could do it. They had more than 30,000 employees and could IMMEDIATELY start construction in hundreds of different locations around the world simultaneously. A lot of other companies bitched and complained because it ended up getting awarded in a “no bid” process. Some companies sued. Then it turned out, when they got down to it, every company that sued would have needed anywhere from 90 days to over 1 year of lead time to be able to hire the employees, purchase the construction equipment, etc. The US army didn’t need their camps built in 90 days or 1 year from now. They needed them built NOW. As it turned out, there was only ONE company that could do it NOW. That company was KBR. Sometimes the military needs big companies. Sometimes the mission requirements are better suited to small companies. It all depends on what they are actually doing, when, where and why.

Business like this have super high counterparty risk. That counterparty being the US govt.

Surely the limitations on selling without export licences is just as true for all the other defence primes….and they’re doing just fine.

Not really, there is another market that has a higher value than the DoD, the American people. Nearly every major defense company in existence also sells similar products to the private sector. If the government doesn't want the tech, the private individuals and entities will want it. In contrast, every single defense company that focused on the military contracts and ignored the private sector ended up going bankrupt within a few decades.

Anduril is taking the current approach to get their foot in the door and gain contracts, build revenue to further attract public investors post-IPO. But the way politics & lobbying actually work means that Anduril will eventually go the same way as their gargantuan enterprise competitors - long contracts, overpriced hardware, messy procurement processes, etc. He's selling Kool-Aid now and he'll do a bait & switch later.

People don't understand that if 'evil America' goes away it isn't replaced by a beautiful free world. It's replaced by Russia, China, or the Islamic state. The USA is the only country maintaining western values as the dominant value system on our planet. This is inconceivable to leftists and liberals.

[@ryszardfalkowski7917]

70s? That's EXACTLY when it started happening because USA didn't want to pay the higher costs and outsourcing meant that it would be produced cheap. Over time Taiwan got better and better at making smaller chips. Straight from Google read below. Taiwan's semiconductor industry began to take shape in the mid-1970s, with the government actively encouraging technology transfer from companies like RCA, which allowed them to start producing chips in the late 1970s; the key development came in 1976 when the Taiwanese government convinced RCA to transfer semiconductor technology to Taiwan, marking a significant step in establishing the chip manufacturing industry there. Edit: The damn government created the problem in the 1st place , now the government is working on military solutions to aid Taiwan just in case China tries to take over that island. Stupid government for doing what they did. Should have allowed RCA to continue working on chips and we most likely would never have to worry about war with China. At least our ally the Netherlands is the only country capable of creating those 300 million dollar chip making machines and they too kept that tech in house where it was developed to what it is today, a highly capable photo lithography machine by ASML. Look up ASMLs photo lithography machine to get an idea what they look like.

[@mmx2731]

I still like Luckey. But the problem with him not having seen how big defense operates firsthand, I don't think he's aware of some of the folks he's going to have to recruit and is actually recruiting now which is folks part of the bureaucratic culture which inhibits the breakneck startup pace. I think long term it will create major issues for the company unless the folks from big defense adopt a different cultural mindset. This is coming from someone who has been through both startups and big defense, and had a background in the military. Big defense models itself after military and government hierarchies/dogmas. It's counter productive for innovation.

[@algore92]

@CouchInvestor I like that Trump brought attention to the fact that NATO countries don't spend 2% on their military, but he toyed with the idea of not helping our NATO allies, instead of working with them to bring that number up. All his talking points are very isolationist, which is something Palmer doesn't seem to agree with. Take Ukraine, for example, which Trump has no solution for, only concepts of a plan, but we all know what his response would be; it would be to let Russia do whatever they want. That's also something Palmer doesn't agree with. So yes, it is a bit of a contradiction for Palmer to like Trump given his stance on foreign policy.
