Anduril's expansion into space technology through the acquisition of ExoAnalytic Solutions signifies a strategic move to enhance U.S. defense capabilities in the increasingly critical domain of space.

Anduril acquired missile tracking and intelligence firm ExoAnalytic Solutions as it extends its reach into U.S. defense interests in space, the company announced on Wednesday.

Through the acquisition, Anduril plans to mobilize ExoAnalytic's sweeping network of telescopes and missile defense tracking to gather data that improves its ground and satellite capabilities.

The defense tech firm is aiming to improve the Department of Defense's visibility in space as it becomes a "war-fighting domain," said Gokul Subramanian, Anduril's senior vice president of engineering for software programs.

"We believe the [Department of Defense] deserves the best catalog of everything going on in space across commercial and government-specific investments," he told reporters. "We want to be part of that solution for the warfighter."
