Curious to know what competition Anduril had in this gov. bid
Blatant corruption.
>Anduril lands $2.9 billion Navy submarine shipyard contract days after Founder joins Pentagon weapons group[1]

How does a submarine even all of them, stop a wave of cheapo drones ?
that's not the role of the submarine, other parts of the armed forces will be tasked with that
they could in theory also deploy cheap counter drone loitering munitions of the aquatic variety, sub-inception if you will
also, given it is Anduril, the subs may be the unmanned variety and much smaller

Well, this is to build "components for the Virginia-class submarine", but Anduril does also build drone subs:

Why spent tens of billions on underwater subs when you can accomplish the same or MORE with drones worth thousands of dollars ?
