The U.S. Air Force awards production contracts to General Atomics and Anduril for “drone wingmen,” according to multiple outlets. The contracts are intended to expand the production of unmanned aircraft designed to operate alongside manned platforms. One report from the Jerusalem Post says Anduril indicates its production line can deliver up to 150 aircraft per year. The Investing.com coverage similarly links the Air Force awards to General Atomics and Anduril, describing the deals as production contracts tied to drone wingmen. While the available excerpts do not provide contract values, specific quantities awarded to each company, or delivery timelines, both sources frame the awards as a step toward scaling procurement and manufacturing capacity for the Air Force’s unmanned wingman concept. The coverage also reflects that more than one defense contractor is involved in fulfilling the Air Force’s production needs for the program, with Anduril highlighting near-term output capability.
