Advancing space sensing. Protecting the homeland. Delivering defense technology at scale. During the AUSA Annual Meeting, Leonardo DRS was pleased to welcome staff from the office of Rep. Derek Tran (CA-45) to our booth for a briefing on critical programs underway by our Space team in California. The discussion highlighted our mission-enabling missile-warning and tracking payloads, space-based sensors capable of rapidly identifying wildfires, and seeker-head designs engineered for affordable, high-rate interceptor production. We appreciate the engagement with Rep. Tran’s office and the opportunity to highlight how local engineering in the 45th District supports national security priorities well into the next decade. #LeonardoDRS #AUSA2026 #SpaceSensing #MissileDefense #Innovation

Key Development 1 of the week = Anduril’s Barracuda: America needs missiles that can be produced in quantity and upgraded without restarting the engineering program. Anduril’s Barracuda just cleared a meaningful milestone toward that goal. On September 23, @Anduril Industries announced that its Barracuda-M cruise missile family completed independent verification against the Air Force’s Weapon Open Systems Architecture, or WOSA, standard. The assessment was conducted by @Air Force Research Laboratory through its Munition Open Architecture Test and Evaluation Laboratory. Air & Space Forces Magazine reported that engineers evaluated 14 architecture domains, including navigation, guidance, propulsion and mission autonomy. The next milestone is customer acceptance of those first deliveries, followed by evidence that upgrades can enter production without disrupting cost, quality or schedule. This is a practical American advantage worth building: government laboratories laying groundwork, private industry engineering on top of it, and manufacturers delivering systems that can keep improving after the first production lot.
