The Anduril partnership has been the best partnership we have because they are founder led, fast moving, open minded, and first principles oriented.

The Thunder/Halo platform is a generational opportunity. Dual use is how you scale and keep costs down. Archer will manufacture the core platform, which can be sold for non-military use cases, but that same platform will also be missionized by Anduril and then sold to the military. Archer will benefit by having a larger end user base resulting in higher sales which we will translate back into lower cost. The large user base will also allow us to maintain a robust supply base to keep the lines moving in war and peace times. Everyone wins. -- Adam Goldstein

Ok I’ll bite….so my competitor is spreading rumors that my CTO Tom Muniz and Chief Eng Geoff Bower left Archer, so they made a funny proof of life video. Enjoy trolls. - Adam Goldstein

Attack helicopters and their crews face more sophisticated threats than ever before. In this new era of maneuver warfare, we need eyes for what’s ahead and a shield for what we can’t afford to lose. Thunder is a Group 5 autonomous attack rotorcraft, equipped with the payload capacity, range and speed required to deliver overwhelming effects to the deepest, most heavily-defended parts of the battlefield. A first of its kind for attack aviation. A thunderous step forward for maneuver dominance.

Halo - A new class of vertical lift aircraft: Autonomous. Affordable. High payload. Long range. Built from the ground up with our partners at Anduril Industries.
