Honestly, Anduril is making some serious waves in how the government handles drones. I've noticed that with their stuff like Fury (the AI fighter jet) and Roadrunner (the reusable anti-drone interceptor), we're seeing much faster, cheaper reactions to threats. Instead of spending a fortune on traditional missiles every time a drone pops up, now the Navy can use these interceptors that do the job for way less money.

In my opinion, this means the government has to rethink how it spends on defense. I remember reading that missiles could cost millions per shot while intercepting cheap enemy drones, so something reusable makes way more sense. What's wild is that with artificial intelligence powering things like Fury, these systems can make decisions on their own, without a person at the controls every second. That's pretty new for military stuff and probably means less risk for pilots, too.

I've talked to my cousin (she's in the Air Force), and she said people are still kinda skeptical about letting robots make combat decisions. But seeing all this money saved and faster response times, it's clear why the government is leaning into it. Personally, I think it just makes sense in today's world. Why wouldn't you wanna spend less and react faster when it comes to staying safe?
