Overview
- Anduril signed a definitive agreement to buy ExoAnalytic Solutions, a space sensing and missile-defense firm, with financial terms undisclosed.
- ExoAnalytic operates roughly 400 ground-based optical telescopes and maintains a multibillion-observation catalog used for space domain awareness and missile warning.
- Anduril plans to integrate ExoAnalytic directly into its space and engineering division, continue merchant data services for external customers, and develop more defense-specific products.
- The move positions Anduril for Golden Dome–related work by combining ExoAnalytic’s tracking, modeling and missile-sensor expertise with Anduril’s autonomy and command-and-control platforms, building on prior Pentagon awards.
- ExoAnalytic capabilities will support three self-funded satellite demonstrations with Argo, Impulse and Apex, extending a record that includes revealing China’s Shijian-21 rendezvous in 2021.
