Anduril's Roadrunner: A Game-Changing Reusable Anti-Air Interceptor

TL;DR Summary
Defense contractor Anduril has unveiled Roadrunner, a novel missile-like air vehicle that is highly modular, autonomous, and reusable. The Roadrunner-M version is equipped with a high-explosive warhead and can function as a low-cost loitering anti-air interceptor, capable of returning home for refueling and reuse. The platform, powered by twin turbojets, has been in development for two years and has undergone extensive flight testing. It can be quickly refueled and redeployed within minutes. Anduril aims to produce thousands of units and is also exploring other applications for Roadrunner, including firefighting and air-to-surface strikes.
