Anduril, the Autonomous Weapons Maker, Doubles the Size of Its Space Unit

  • On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, Anduril Industries announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire ExoAnalytic Solutions, integrating it into its space business as its first space acquisition; terms were not disclosed and regulatory approvals are pending.
  • Having collaborated for about two years, the companies said Anduril plans to incorporate ExoAnalytic’s tracking into its products and sell space-tracking data externally.
  • ExoAnalytic brings a global telescope network that operates roughly 400 ground-based optical telescopes, tracking thousands of objects and exposing China’s Shijian-21 incident for U.S. national security agencies.
  • The acquisition immediately expands Anduril's space business by adding about 130 ExoAnalytic employees to its about 120-person space division and accelerates infrared satellite support with Apex Space.
  • The acquisition strengthens Anduril's positioning for Golden Dome and recent Pentagon contracts, as the company is raising $4 billion with Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.
