    How AI Is Changing Warfare, with Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf

    Brian Schimpf, David George

    Founded in 2017 by former Palantir executives and Oculus creator Palmer Luckey, Zandrel challenges the stagnant defense acquisition model by deploying autonomous systems and a data-processing "Lattice" platform to solve critical military scaling problems. The company leverages commercial supply chains and AI-driven decision-making to drastically shorten development cycles, contrasting its rapid prototyping approach with the decade-long timelines that typically render legacy weapons obsolete. By prioritizing human augmentation over autonomous lethality and advocating for fixed-price contracts, Zandrel aims to redirect billions in defense spending toward high-tempo innovation that outpaces adversarial technological iteration.
