Anduril Launches Sydney Factory to Produce Cutting-Edge 'Ghost Shark' Drones

Anduril Industries has launched a new Sydney factory to produce Ghost Shark drones, fulfilling a significant A$1.7 billion contract with Australias navy to enhance naval capabilities.

On Friday, Anduril Industries inaugurated a manufacturing facility in Sydney to produce state-of-the-art undersea drones, known as Ghost Sharks.
This production aligns with a A$1.7 billion ($1.1 billion) contract awarded to Anduril by Australia in September to develop a fleet of drones for the Royal Australian Navy.
The facility aims to manufacture dozens of Ghost Shark unmanned aerial vehicles over the next five years, with potential for international export.

Why It Matters

The establishment of the Sydney factory by Anduril represents a strategic investment in defense technology, enhancing Australias naval capabilities while contributing to the local economy and potential global defense markets.
