Summary
Anduril has begun exploring an Israel presence, including hiring a local manager to build startup ties, scout partnerships and assess a development operation with local staff.
Recent meetings with candidates from Elbit Systems and Israel's defense R&D directorate reflect a push to tap the country's fast-growing defense-tech ecosystem.
The company already has agreements with Israeli firms including ASIO, is weighing interest in drone-camera startup LiteVision, and could eventually invest in or acquire local companies.
Anduril's move follows a sharp rise in scale: the 2017-founded defense startup raised $5 billion last month at a $61 billion valuation and generated $2.2 billion in 2025 revenue.
