Anduril teams with Elbit America for Army’s self-propelled howitzer competition

Anduril joins the US subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit along with OshKosh Defense for the team’s offering for the highly anticipated competition.

Why this matters
Why now

The US Army's ongoing Mobile Tactical Cannon competition is forcing defense companies to form strategic partnerships to offer advanced, self-propelled howitzer solutions.

Why it’s important

This collaboration between a newer defense tech company like Anduril and established players like Elbit America and OshKosh Defense signifies the evolving landscape of defense procurement, prioritizing integration of modern software and autonomy with traditional hardware.

What changes

The competitive landscape for defense contracts is shifting to favor consortia that combine agility and advanced tech from 'new defense' with the manufacturing capabilities and domain expertise of incumbents.

Winners
  • · Anduril
  • · Elbit America
  • · OshKosh Defense
  • · US Army (potential for advanced systems)
Losers
  • · Companies unable to form similar strategic technology partnerships
  • · Traditional prime contractors reliant solely on legacy systems
Second-order effects
Direct

Anduril, Elbit America, and OshKosh Defense submit a joint proposal for the US Army's self-propelled howitzer competition.

Second

Increased adoption of software-defined and autonomous capabilities in heavy ground combat systems due to competitive pressure and successful integration.

Third

Further consolidation or mandated partnerships within the defense industrial base to accelerate technology integration and reduce development cycles for future platforms.
