Anduril Eyes Israel Expansion With Local Operations Push

Palmer Luckey's $61B defense tech giant is scoping out Israel for operations, partnerships, and startup investments.

Anduril is making moves in Israel. The defense tech juggernaut, valued at $61 billion, has started exploring the possibility of setting up shop in the country, according to sources cited by CTech.

The company founded by Palmer Luckey is actively in talks to hire a local manager to lead its Israeli operations. Beyond just establishing a physical presence, Anduril is reportedly eyeing partnerships and potential investments in Israeli startups.

The move makes strategic sense. Israel has long been a hotbed for defense technology and cybersecurity talent. For a company of Anduril's scale — currently the world's largest defense tech startup — tapping into that ecosystem could accelerate product development and open new market opportunities.

No timeline has been confirmed for when operations might officially launch. But the recruitment conversations signal this is more than idle curiosity.
