Summary

Anvil is Anduril high-speed drone interceptor for counter-UAS missions. It is designed to identify, pursue and physically defeat hostile drones, operating as part of Anduril wider sensor, autonomy and command software ecosystem.

Overview

Anvil is Anduril high-speed drone interceptor for counter-UAS missions. It is designed to identify, pursue and physically defeat hostile drones, operating as part of Anduril wider sensor, autonomy and command software ecosystem.

Market context

Anvil is Anduril autonomous kinetic interceptor designed to pursue and physically intercept hostile unmanned aircraft as part of a layered counter-UAS architecture.

• Target environment: Defence operational environments including airspace around sensitive sites and contested areas.
• Workflow context: Kinetic interception of hostile drones, counter-UAS defence and integration with broader air-defence and sensor networks.
• Customer context: Defence customers requiring layered counter-UAS capability.
• Deployment model: Deployed defence product integrated into Anduril broader counter-UAS stack.
• Commercial maturity: Active defence product in Anduril layered counter-drone architecture.
• Adoption constraints: Defence procurement cycles and integration with existing air-defence command structures.
• Market position: Shows Anduril smaller interceptor layer below Roadrunner, alongside fixed-site sensing. Part of a layered counter-drone architecture rather than a standalone product category.
• Adjacent products: Anduril Roadrunner, counter-UAS systems
