    "excerpt": "Anduril Industries unveiled Steelfin, a family of interceptor missiles designed to counter threats ranging from drones to hypersonic weapons, as the defense technology company expands its push into military manufacturing. The company plans to produce several thousand missiles annually in the near term, with flight testing expected to begin in 2027. Anduril says Steelfin could give militaries a more cost-effective way to counter a range of aerial threats while preserving high-end interceptors for more demanding engagements. The announcement comes as Anduril ramps up investments in defense manufacturing, including a planned $3.7 billion submarine-component facility in Maryland and a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion.

Different solid rocket motors can be used to adjust range and launch requirements, while the terminal stage retains common hardware, avionics, software and flight controls across variants. The approach is intended to let customers tailor missile configurations to specific missions while reducing redesign time and manufacturing complexity. The strategy also addresses a challenge for air defense operators: using costly interceptors against...",
