Defense tech startup Anduril Industries has encountered significant challenges during the testing of its autonomous weapons systems, as reported by the WSJ. Key issues arose during a Navy exercise off California in May, where over a dozen drone boats malfunctioned, raising concerns among sailors about safety violations and potential risks to life. These setbacks highlight the ongoing difficulties in developing reliable autonomous military technology. The situation underscores the critical need for rigorous testing and adherence to safety protocols in defense innovations.
