Anduril Industries and Voyager Technologies have formalized a partnership covering technologies for advanced U.S. weapons and missile defense. Voyager already holds contracts to supply Anduril with more than $60 million in equipment for programs the companies are pursuing together.

The existing work includes solid rocket motors and divert and attitude control systems used in advanced weapons. The new agreement gives the companies a framework to pursue further programs and expand manufacturing as demand grows.

“Anduril has long believed that bringing together the best capabilities across the industrial base is what’s going to deliver a decisive advantage for our warfighters,” said Anduril founder Palmer Luckey. The companies said their teams’ proximity in Southern California should speed up design, integration and testing.

Anduril is building a 1.18 million-square-foot campus in Long Beach, California, with facilities scheduled to open in 2027. Its production lines at Arsenal-1 in Columbus, Ohio, are already operating.

Voyager is developing an American Defense Complex in Pueblo, Colorado, for design, testing, qualification and production. Once fully scaled, the site is intended to support output of roughly 15,000 to 20,000 propulsion systems a month across Voyager’s portfolio.

“We’ve invested more than $500 million in propulsion, energetics and manufacturing capacity to be ready for exactly this moment,” said Matt Magaña, president of Voyager’s Space, Defense & National Security business. The projected monthly output remains a target for the fully developed facility, while the existing Anduril supply contracts are already in place.
