Anduril introduces lower-cost Steelfin interceptor for missile defense
Anduril has announced the Steelfin interceptor, which executives say could cost about one-third as much as the Patriot PAC-3 MSE. The company says the weapon can be adapted with different motors, seekers and launch platforms to counter inexpensive drones as well as more advanced ballistic, cruise and hypersonic threats. Anduril is pursuing the Army's low-cost interceptor effort and may also compete for the service's Future Interceptor program.
