Transonic and LO(?) design. No indication of armament, seems to be more of an enabler. Different sensor packages, etc.

Looks low observable to me, and yes definitely enabler, the Lattice system is a datalink / C&C system to coordinate autonomous assets, it's supposed to enable a single person to command a fleet of autonomous assets to conduct a mission: https://blog.anduril.com/anduril-unveils-lattice-for-mission-autonomy-8e0c5fa0e94b
Given the blurb that appears on the nose of the UAV the mission payload is a sensor package, be it radar or IRST, or maybe other RF/IR sensors. I wonder how it's to be deployed and recovered given the lack of gears. The 9G capability though does sound weird given the lack of payload. They sim'ed it using the X-62's VSS so they've got the algorithms to autonomously fly those 9G maneuvers though so that goal seems achievable. Maybe it'll be able to serve as a decoy as well. Anyways, very cool shit.
Also, OP don't fucking make threads with twitter screencaps of a guy with an anime profile picture posting a sci-fi looking render for fucks sakes. Retards on this board are going to think it's some larper rather than the unironic fonder of a defense contractor, amongst other things.

There's also a bit of a YT video available https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQMrv_utQwo
Not much more to see, they term it as a Group 5 UAV though, so that's >1320 lb MTOW, nominal operating alt > 18,000 ft so it's definitely a capable drone, at least in terms of design point, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._military_UAS_groups
I wonder about runway requirements. This is what, a division asset?
The lack of gear in the renders makes me think it'll require a launch truck or something, or that maybe it's air launched.
So this is the flame of the west, huh?
Fucking nerds I swear.
>Anduril
So I take it someone was a Tolkein fan
Lucky already used Palantir, so that should be a clue
>named after the Flame of the West
How much russian seethe is this company gonna generate?
a lot. There is a weird fanfiction by a russian called "the last ringbearer". It is basically
>Sauron dindu nuffin.
>Le men of the west bad.
I also like the naming of the company,
since the last part of Aragorn's poem fits Anduril perfectly:
>From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
>A light from the shadows shall spring;
>Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
>The crownless again shall be king.

Seriously, what the fuck are you talking about? And what does that poem have to do with a small California drone company?
Retard.
In Lord of the Rings, Aragorn's reforged sword is called Anduril, which this company named themselves after. It's a vital part of his claim to the throne, and he has a poem about that.
And what exactly does that have to do with a California drone company?
> Muh sword from capeshit!!
> I-it's just like us!
I'll agree that this is good symbolism for the modern "west": Retards and manchildren clinging to lame pop culture references.
Hello Vanya,
have sucked Putin's cock today?
> A-anduril
> I-it's so fitting, so beautiful
> They're just like meeee!!
> Give more childish and retarded MIC pop culture references. 🙂
> If you disagree you are Russian!
Since when is a reference to a book from the 1950ies capeshit?
Did 4chan rot your brain?
Or do you need to vent in your 5(4 are bots) viewer twitch stream, how you're forced by gay gnomish space lizards to accept the choice of pronouns in your video games?
philistines like you don't deserve internet access
How the fuck is the modern globohom west in any way the underdog?
Where in that poem does anything about "underdog" appear? If you're referring to the first line, "ashes" can mean a great power that's gone soft. It's basically where NATO was at before Tsar Monke's chimpout, in another decade it probably would have fallen apart on its own. Much of the EU was investing diddly in defense, armed forces contracting, even America going more isolationist. Lots of important countries happily "neutral" and just wanting economics.
>"From the ashes a fire shall be woken,"
fits what happened pretty damn well. Everything is refreshed, renewed, strengthened for decades thanks to this. Finland/Sweden are in.
Putin made one of the biggest geopolitical fuckups in modern history.
>Anduril
LotR is still under copyright in the United States. They could be sued for using that name.
Chairforce naming scheme will give it a gay name like Boromir or something
They should build a really large drone and call it Ancalagon.
It's from an acquisition:

Created to destroy the Eastern Orcs. Once just a fantasy but now it's a reality...
>Anduril
I still don't know what to make of this company. Their CEO looks like your typical tech bro working at a silicone valley startup.
what's with all the -bro shit? They're literally come off as a bunch of speds and autists, who is rankled by their masculinity? Commies looking for an angle to rag on capitalists?
Palmer Lucky switched from VR into the MIC scam ? Good on him
>it's a 3d model
yawn
come back with a prototype bro
Is "performant" a word or is he retarded?
Also what's a "group 5 autonomous air vehicle"?
It's following 'impactful' out of the corporate jargon mill into common use.

Tolkien is spin ing is his grave over this shit. The last thing he would want to appropriate a name from his work is a vanguard of mechanized, inhuman, industrial warfare.
>last thing he would want to appropriate a name from his work is a vanguard of mechanized, inhuman, industrial warfare.
Probably some truth to that, but Tolkien was no mindless pacifist either. He was very clear eyed about the horrors of war, and industrialized war in particular, but not blind to it sometimes needing to be fought. Like, he definitely would have considered the Ukrainians righteous, defending themselves against an overwhelmingly stronger, murderous and evil opponent. And like his story, Ukraine has been given lots of support by the great western powers, yet they won't actually step in and fight with them either.
But he hated war fought for political shit like WW1 was, and long term robot armies make that a lot easier. Though perhaps if the overall human toll was lessened maybe he'd still think that a win in the end.
I guess ultimately another thing was that while he could lament the passing of good simpler things he also didn't think that the inexorable push of time could be halted or reversed.
>Like, he definitely would have considered the Ukrainians righteous, defending themselves against an overwhelmingly stronger, murderous and evil opponent.
ukraine's enemy is the united states though
lol go back to sobbing into your krokadil vlad
I like the Russian aesthetic. It makes sense if you remember they're a bunch of peasants masquerading as the ruling class they all murdered. You'll see an ugly potato face fucker serving peasant food in a royal aesthetic castle that hasn't changed since the early 1900s.
They remind me of mad max in a way, immorten Joe built his religion using history and culture references most of his warboys would never understand, to them he was a God, anyone like Max who remembers the old world knows he's just a petty little tyrant. Average vatniks are like the warboys but weaker and more cowardly.
Who is shelling the Ukraine every day?
Doesn't matter, Ukraine's dead either way. The US way just takes longer.
