Marketing. Trust me... it's not that cool. They hire artists to design this stuff. Not kidding. The exterior is made by an industrial designer more so then an actual engineer. I would know, I worked at the company previously.

Umm... this product was acquired into the company via Blue Force. It was pretty much fully designed prior to Anduril getting its hands on it. It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about despite having "worked at the company," which could mean anything.

I left before this was “acquired”. So I won’t know specifically for this product.

I do know that Anduril has done this for many of their products including the single rotor drone. Additionally it has all the hallmarks of industrial design. That shell looks way too over the top with those lines.

So I was exaggerating a bit. My mistake. I should say “very incredibly likely an industrial designer was involved to the point of obviousness due to my previous experience with the company”

He’s stated they have a no renders policy so would be weird if they had that then did what you suggest.

A startup founder lying to get juicy government contracts? Say it ain't so!

I dunno, this was pretty impressive and real, maybe OP knows better and it is a ruse.

A bit late but see this new innovation from anduril:

This fucking golf cart with a laptop welded to the dashboard is next generation stuff. Holy holy shit. Look at it take out those Chinese subs.

See what I mean about the marketing?

That’s a marketing video. Cut and edited using only good HD footage. You think that’s realistic?

Well they may have physically made the shell and thus not a render.

As for if it does what it says on the tin I have no idea, maybe the commenter that suggests they have insider knowledge can clarify.
