I about died laughing at the end when I saw how the kinetic system worked. All the big players are fighting drones with lasers and nets, etc, and Anduril's just like "What if we ducktaped a brick onto a drone, then flew it into the other drone?" It seems like such a stupid idea, and yet it makes so much sense, especially if the brickdrone (TM) can recover and return. This is probably the most efficient enemy drone killer I've seen thus far. Take down an enemy drone (and probably save the lives of one of your own soldiers at least half the time) for the price it takes to recharge the batteries after a mission. Good job y'all. I hope that you herald a return to competition.

I especially enjoyed the part, where they ran the demonstration "live feed" as a video inside the Windows Media Player xD

The music on these videos is so good. Anduril knows exactly what genre we’re living in.

Andruril it seems is both great at engineering and marketing as well based on the high quality of its videos as can be seen here in this one.

Best system I've seen yet, cost effective. Simple actions. I love it

your BGM kinda slaps. also, your marketing team is so far ahead doing commercials, i know maybe 2 or 3 players on defence who can do this kind of good content. and they have entire countries GDPs to spare on it every year so kudos to y'all from sometone who worked in the field (adverts) for a long time you deserve all praise

problem is they've only shown this hitting a slow photography drone. Like to see this hit a much faster FPV Kamikazi oriented drone in the future.

Lancets and Shaheeds are pretty easy to intercept with jammers and lasers. They’re effective in Ukraine because Ukraine lacks EW systems and doesn’t have laser based AA. Against a NATO country they would certainly not be very effective. Remember that the Russian Lancet-3M is just a copied German-Israeli HERO Kamikaze drone. With less sophisticated guidance and without hardening against EW.

@@falsum2701 Those smaller FPV drones are incredibly vulnerable to EW attacks. Their components are very simple and they communicate on a wide array of frequencies that are easily jammed. Of course, due to the sheer amount of them, some will always get through in areas that aren’t covered by electronic countermeasures. Nonetheless a sufficiently capable array of EW systems can effectively nullify their usefulness.

The sentry is the most impressive thing here, to me. I imagine there passing off target detection from radar to vision. Two sentries can triangulate the target with radar, spin the camera to triangulate with vision, and send position updates to Anvil. Then, when Anvil is in range, it's camera takes over. Notice how Anvil attacks from underneath, making visual object detection easier against the backdrop of the sky vs the ground.

This is why they retired the SR-71, it never stood a chance against something as lethal as the bonk drone.

what a good promo video! Looks really good. I would just say that the symbol on the screen should not be a plane, but a drone. 0:49

Extremely cool company

Impressive. Wonder how it handles more than one

I thought kinetically was a euphemism for just blasting it out of the sky. I never expected a flying hammer of Thor 😂

The lesson in this is fly low. Anvil is designed to attack from below. If a drone is hugging the ground, harder for radar to detect and much harder for Anvil to get the jump on it.

Super 👍👍👍

Me: "Anvil? Why .. oh that makes sense."

why not duct the interceptors blades for protection when contacting the target?

Anduril, Flame of the West! The sword reforged!

As an Infanteer, I want to see this is service, deployable to platoon sized element now. This more so than a new Primary Arm or any IFV.

Epic

It's simple and efficient, I like it. I imagine armored vehicles of the future will all be equipped with some type of counter drone tech. I would like to see a lightly armored vehicle similar to a personnel carrier but designed to hold and release a high volume of drones. A quad rotor drone is easy to defend but a swarm would be far more difficult. Simple decoy drones could be employed to draw enemy fire. America's current problem is that our missiles are extremely expensive, often more expensive than the targets they are taking out.

Ghost Fleet is a great book.

A simple pocket laser can disrupt lattice. And obviously 10 tiny drones with a small C4 charge at the same time can easily break through the anvil defense.

No, why should we allow potential rivals to access this? We need to maintain the upper hand.

if the said drone was carying an explosive, would it explode on impact, or would it explode, when the broken drone fell to the ground (or neither), if we're talking about the most common drone-mounted explosives?

As a military history nerd, its so cool to me to know that the US Air Force and Navy is so dominant that for 65 years of almost continuous war, no american ground forces has ever been successfully struck by enemy aircraft.

You guys are so badass. Lockheed of the future. Where can I donate?

Here after Mark Rober's video!

am having one question. Will this be effective against Lancet? is it tested against some similar drones?

there is a arcade game name "outzone" and on that game there is a weapon called "superball" which spins 360 degree and destroy everything. if simillar thing can use is battlefield then enemy would have no chance to survive.

It shows a deep US heritage when the drone literally play football with enemy

I love this presentation ❤ also name of company is based af🤙

At least we found a use for all the Xbox Series X consoles - just slap some propellers on them and launch them at other drones.

One this that people don’t realize is that those drones go like 200 mph at max speed and will fucking shred anything in there path, but the fact there reusable is insane to me
