Anduril Scores $642M Deal to Provide Counter-Drone Systems for US Marines

Published on March 13, 2025

Anduril has clinched a $642-million contract to supply counter-drone technology for the US Marine Corps (USMC).

Under the 10-year deal, the defense tech company will install, deliver, and sustain “installation-counter small unmanned aircraft systems” and related services to USMC bases worldwide starting this year through 2035.

The California-based firm bested nine other unnamed competitors in the solicitation issued in February last year. It is expected to provide a network of defenses to detect, track, identify, and defeat small drones and other threats against USMC installations and personnel.

A majority (80 percent) of the work will be performed at the company’s headquarters in Costa Mesa, California, while the rest will be split between DC and other USMC installations.
