Anduril’s Real War Is With Itself

WIRED investigation reveals safety incidents and operational challenges at Anduril's missile motor factory in Mississippi, including a burn injury from an igniter misfire where proper safety protocols were not followed. Based on interviews with 37 current and former employees, the report highlights process dysfunction, management turnover, and deadline pressure as the startup attempts to disrupt legacy defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Anduril declined to respond to specific claims, calling the reporting inaccurate and misleading.
