actual glowie insider here. no one cares about anduril drones just the 'mesh' (the integration layer).  a monkey could build these but somehow, just like with palantir it takes an outside (((gov contractor))) to somehow get into everyone's systems and make everyone agree to share data connections... how mysterious? basically it's all bribery and truly criminal but who cares?  companies like this being the only way to do basic integration is precisely why the government will lose in actual head to heads with china. you should also read their meme book the "technological republic" or whatever. they don't understand the system outside knowing how to profit off of it.  if it makes you sleep better at night, contractors may individually be competent, but they hate eachother (don't think for a second anduril is the only one in the integration, data fusion, mesh, etc. space or the drone space) and are reliant on even more opaque and retarded offices across the military and intel communities. basically government is retarded so even if they have exquisite capability it doesn't even matter...
