American Dynamism 🇺🇸

May Starship have the Mandate of Heaven

America’s critical supply chain won’t be fixed by a single player. It’s a collective effort that will require co-investment and collaboration between the public and private sectors.  Our CEO, Jai Malik, joined Jeffrey Frankston (Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of War, Industrial Base Resilience), Andy Magliochetti (Deputy Assistant for the Defense Industrial Base, US Department of the Navy), Rolf Zeising (General Atomics), and Bryan Clark (Senior Fellow and Director, Hudson Institute) yesterday afternoon at the @HudsonInstitute, to discuss how we can come together to form a stronger, more resilient defense industrial base.  Watch the full discussion here: hudson.org/events/manufactur…

The United States is losing its ability to produce the things it needs to defend itself, to power its economy and to care for its people. This failure is not because we lack talent or technology. It is because we have made it nearly impossible to build anything here. @SenKevinCramer and me on why it’s time to fix permitting. foxnews.com/opinion/american…

America’s share of global manufacturing output has fallen from 25% in 1997 to 15% today. Absent intervention, it could reach 11% by 2030. The United States is losing its ability to produce the things it needs to defend itself, to power its economy and to care for its people. This failure is not because we lack talent, capital or technology. It is because we have made it nearly impossible to build anything here.

The inability to build real things harms every American industry and every American job. Whether it is semiconductor fabricators, munitions, rare earth production facilities, natural gas pipelines, oil refineries or medical manufacturing centers, they all hit the same regulatory barrier: federal permitting law. It’s time to fix permitting.

Bringing autonomy to the next fight: wildfires. Anduril has earned first place in the Autonomous Wildfire Response Track within the @xprize competition. Our solution manages the entire wildfire lifecycle with minimal human intervention. Lattice coordinates assets across air, land, and space to detect and respond faster. The award reflects Anduril's deep experience building firefighting tech including more than two years of dedicated work with XPRIZE. During the rigorous finals test in the Alaskan wilderness, our platform autonomously detected, fought, and suppressed live fires. Destructive wildfires are a global crisis. Anduril and XPRIZE are pioneering faster, more scalable and more automated ways to fight them.

On Friday, we welcomed @SecWar to Saronic in Austin as part of the Arsenal of Freedom Tour. He toured our production line and spoke directly with our employees about the mission and the role their work plays in supporting those who serve. Thank you, Secretary Hegseth, for spending time with our team and reinforcing the urgency and importance of the work ahead.

“You are deploying lethal autonomous mass to ensure our fleet commands the sea. You are the front lines of American power.” 🇺🇸💪🚀

AMERICAN-MADE IS BACK. AMERICAN MANUFACTURING IS BACK. The Arsenal of Freedom is UNLEASHING the power of the American worker—and putting American strength back on the production line.
