# Anduril Explores Polish Missile Production

Anduril is considering producing its Steelfin air-defense interceptors in Europe, with Poland identified as a potential focus; flight testing is planned for 2027. Separately, the company is discussing Polish production of its Barracuda-500 cruise missile with PGZ and Polish government entities. Neither effort has a reported award, contract value, or production commitment, so these discussions indicate possible industrial cooperation rather than an active contract opportunity.

- Polish procurement officials and local manufacturers can assess whether potential production arrangements support interceptor supply goals and domestic industrial capacity; no solicitation or award is identified.
- For industry stakeholders, Anduril’s discussions with PGZ point to possible future opportunities in local production and industrial teaming, but the Barracuda-500 discussions remain uncommitted.
- Anduril’s Brian Moran noted that localization involves cost and schedule tradeoffs. Companies evaluating participation should account for those factors alongside the stated supply and security considerations.

### Key Quotes
