The State of Modern War: Palantir & Anduril Execs on Drones, AI, and the End of Traditional Warfare
David FriedbergShyam SankarTrae Stephens
US military power is increasingly constrained by factory capacity, with Ukraine consuming “10 years of production in 10 weeks,” a 10,000-to-one drone gap, and a 223x shipbuilding disadvantage versus China.Anduril’s five-million-square-foot Arsenal-1 is designed as a modular manufacturing platform for attritable systems, addressing the economics of replacing $2 million interceptors with $20,000 drones.The high-low mix may shift massively over five to 10 years, but Stephens estimates roughly 18 months even with unlimited cash to establish a sustainable industrial base.
