Anduril expands defense capabilities with acquisition of rocket motor manufacturer.

Anduril Industries has acquired Adranos, a solid rocket manufacturer, to strengthen its position in the hypersonic and missile market. The acquisition will allow Anduril to supply solid rocket motors to companies that make hypersonic weapons, missiles, and other propulsion systems. Adranos is known for creating a solid rocket fuel called ALITEC, made of an aluminum-lithium alloy, which can produce up to 40% more range in solid rocket motors than other fuels at lower cost. Anduril plans to develop Adranos' production facility in Mississippi into a modern manufacturing facility to produce thousands of solid rocket motors per year.
