Exclusive: Anduril seeks supplier status with Armory shop

• "As a company, we've generally just gone after large, prime programs."

How it works: You can browse Armory right now.

• Submitting an inquiry about any of the gear in stock — the Wisp sensor or Dive-LD undersea vehicle or Voyager chassis, for example — connects you to someone from Anduril to navigate the regulations and purchase.
• "We have the demand coming in — orders booked," Steckman said. "But we're always building to a slightly higher rate than the orders booked, because the history of our business has told us to do that."

The intrigue: Missiles, like Barracuda, and other munitions were not listed on Armory as of Tuesday night.

Follow the money: Anduril was this year valued north of $60 billion. Backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund and Thrive Capital.

• The company is building the Fury robo-wingman for the U.S. Air Force, to fly alongside F-35s and F-47s, and recently expressed interest in the service's Massed Modular Aircraft effort.

The bottom line: "Coming up with the name Armory? As you can imagine, so many debates. So, so, so many debates," Steckman said.

• "We're excited to see where it goes, and we're going to kick it into high gear."
