As Anduril ramps up production, precision imaging remains mission-critical. Optex Systems, a NATO-accredited defense contractor partnering with BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin, specializes in optical and mechanical assemblies tailored for unmanned platforms. While stabilized monocular modules are sourced from leading optics manufacturers, Optex’s in-house engineering teams integrate these components—alongside high-resolution thermal cameras—into ruggedized pods that mount seamlessly to UAVs. The result? Turnkey vision systems that deliver clear, reliable imagery for surveillance, targeting, and situational awareness.
Looking Ahead
Groundbreaking for Arsenal 1 is slated for late 2025, with initial production runs kicking off in 2026. As the facility scales, Anduril and its ecosystem partners—including optics integrators like Optex—will usher in a new era of drone capability: faster deployment, sharper intelligence, and enhanced operational autonomy.
