BAE And Anduril Among Companies Developing Autonomous UAS
The UK Ministry of Defense has shortlisted four defense companies, including BAE Systems and Anduril Industries, to develop drone designs capable of accompanying the British Army’s Apache attack helicopters. The program, known as Project NYX, aims to develop Uncrewed Air Systems (UAS) for reconnaissance, precision strike, and electronic warfare. The four companies will receive $13 million in investment to further assess their designs, with the intention of selecting up to two partners to build prototypes later this year. The UK’s Ministry of Defense announced the shortlist, as reported by AeroTime.
