Anduril Industries explores expanding CCA program into India
What happened
Anduril Industries is exploring opportunities to expand its involvement in India's Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. The company is pitching the Anduril Fury, a jet-powered, uncrewed combat aircraft developed for the US Air Force’s CCA program, to India. If the Indian Air Force expresses interest, the company is keen to explore potential local production in India.
