The US Marine Corps has ordered Anduril Industries' AI-powered Bolt man-packable VTOL Autonomous Air Vehicles (AAVs) for evaluation.
South California-based Anduril Industries unveiled on October 10 the Bolt family of man-packable, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) Autonomous Air Vehicles (AAVs) that deliver simple and flexible capability for various missions. Modern conflicts have demonstrated how lightweight, man-portable tactical loitering munitions can provide an asymmetric advantage to dismounted forces by leveraging readily available commercial drone technology to reduce costs and increase production capacity.
