Bringing autonomy to the next fight: wildfires. Anduril has earned first place in the Autonomous Wildfire Response Track within the @xprize competition. Our solution manages the entire wildfire lifecycle with minimal human intervention. Lattice coordinates assets across air, land, and space to detect and respond faster. The award reflects Anduril's deep experience building firefighting tech including more than two years of dedicated work with XPRIZE. During the rigorous finals test in the Alaskan wilderness, our platform autonomously detected, fought, and suppressed live fires. Destructive wildfires are a global crisis. Anduril and XPRIZE are pioneering faster, more scalable and more automated ways to fight them.

On Friday, we welcomed @SecWar to Saronic in Austin as part of the Arsenal of Freedom Tour. He toured our production line and spoke directly with our employees about the mission and the role their work plays in supporting those who serve. Thank you, Secretary Hegseth, for spending time with our team and reinforcing the urgency and importance of the work ahead.

AMERICAN-MADE IS BACK. AMERICAN MANUFACTURING IS BACK. The Arsenal of Freedom is UNLEASHING the power of the American worker—and putting American strength back on the production line.

In July, @CENTCOM forces struck an Iranian submarine and ship maintenance facility using three Corsair unmanned surface vessels—the first combat employment of sea drones in American military history. This is the new COMMERCIAL FIRST Department of War in action, where new entrant companies like @Saronic can rapidly deliver and scale lethal technology for the Joint Force. We will ensure our warfighters NEVER enter a fair fight. 🇺🇸

Another standout conversation at Wednesday's New Industrial Age Forum: @NASAAdmin - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Administrator Jared Isaacman and U.S. Senator @TimSheehyMT took the stage for “New Frontiers and the American Spirit,” joined by CNBC’s @MorganLBrennan and a16z’s @KTmBoyle. Space, technology, national ambition, and the next American frontier, all in one conversation. A few powerful quotes: Sheehy: "We need to reform the broken acquisition paradigm that has crippled our warfighter capabilities in the last 30 years." Isaacman: "The real win coming out of NASA is an organizational transformation. We can move on from making everyone happy - which meant that nobody's happy - to concentrating our efforts on the needle-moving objectives." This is exactly the kind of room we set out to build. 🇺🇸 Thank you all for joining us. Reindustrialize.
