US military hardware
maker
Anduril
's founder,
Palmer Luckey
, has recently teased the possibility of the company producing
American-made PCs
. This week, while talking at the 'Reindustrialize Summit' in Detroit, US, Luckey said,
'I think there's a chance that it's going to be Anduril.'
He also noted that conversations about this PC-making initiative began years ago. He added that Anduril has engaged with
'everyone you would need to have to do that,'
including individuals
"on the chip side, on the assembly side, on the manufacturing side."
Despite these discussions, Luckey is not entirely committed to the effort as he also told the audience that
"there are some things Anduril has to do,"
while
"there are other things we'd rather have other people do. This is something I'd rather have other people do."
However, he didn't share a potential name for the computer but suggested that it would be
"pro-American, and also a gambling reference."
It's important to note that the concept of American-made computers is not new. For example, PC manufacturer Dell operated several manufacturing plants across the US before closing its North Carolina plant in 2009 and shifting to an international manufacturing partner in Poland.

At the event, Luckey spoke to the audience both virtually and through a humanoid robot developed by a company named Foundation. Sharing a post on X, he wrote:
"I finally pulled off my long-standing goal of speaking at a conference via VR telerobotics! Thousands of miles of travel saved, and no chance of Luigi."
He clarified that Anduril does not plan to create its own humanoid robot as well:
'We're going to partner with other companies where it makes sense.'
Founded by Luckey in 2017, Anduril develops US military hardware such as drones, underwater submersibles, and an
AI-driven software
platform called Lattice.
The company is also collaborating with Meta on extended reality headsets and other wearable devices for military use—a partnership which was announced in May.

$565m credit line for Maldives, talks on free trade pact
PM Modi and President of the Maldives Mohamed Muizzu (Pic credit: AP) The turnaround in India-Maldives ties in the past 10 months - following the acrimonious removal of Indian military personnel from the strategically located country - seemed complete as India announced a fresh $565 million line of credit (LoC) for the Indian Ocean neighbour and signed an agreement to reduce its annual debt repayment burden by 40%. As President Mohamed Muizzu hosted PM Modi for the latter's first visit to the country under his presidency, receiving Modi at the airport, both sides affirmed their commitment to a bilateral investment pact and a free trade agreement, for which the terms of reference were finalised. Seven MoUs and agreements were signed. Muizzu had invited Modi as the guest of honour for the Maldivian independence day celebrations. India had extended an $800 million LoC in 2019 under the previous pro-India Maldivian Democratic Party govt but on this occasion the LoC is in Indian currency (Rs 4,850 crore). PM: India & Maldives will soon finalise an investment treaty The president said after his meeting with Narendra Modi it will be used for priority projects in defence, healthcare, education and housing. Foreign secretary Vikram Misri said Muizzu reiterated the Maldives's condemnation of the Pahalgam attack. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Muizzu has been seen as a pro-China leader in the past because of his association with the India Out campaign while in the opposition, and his insistence on driving out Indian military from the archipelago after taking over as president in Nov 2023. Muizzu travelled to India in Oct last year for an official visit, during which he said Maldives would do nothing to hurt India's security interests and would prioritise the relationship. The leaders then launched a Comprehensive Economic and Maritime Security Partnership to resuscitate the relationship. Modi said India is proud of the fact that it's Maldives's most reliable partner and that for India, it's always friendship first. "To give a new impetus to our development partnership, we have decided to provide a line of credit of $565 million, or approximately Rs 5,000 crore, to Maldives. It will be used for projects related to infrastructure development in line with the priorities of the people of Maldives," said Modi, calling the relationship older than history and as deep as oceans. One of the agreements signed is expected to bring down Male's annual LoC debt repayment from $51 million to $29 million. Modi said that both countries will soon finalise a bilateral investment treaty and their target now is "from paperwork to prosperity", adding a local currency settlement system under discussion will facilitate trade. There was focus on defence and security cooperation as the new defence ministry building built with Indian assistance was inaugurated. Asked whether there was any discussion about China, Misri said in a press briefing that India continued to work very closely with the Maldives on any issue that might "impinge on not just our security but our common security in this region that we share". Modi will participate in the independence day celebrations on Saturday and meet political functionaries. The visit saw the leaders virtually inaugurating a roads and drainage system project in Addu city and six high impact community development projects in other cities.

DRDO tests missile fired from drone
NEW DELHI: Flight-trials of an advanced precision guided missile launched from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which can be fired in plain and high-altitude areas during day and night, have been successfully conducted by DRDO. The UAV-launched precision guided missile or ULPGM-V3, which is an enhanced version of the ULPGM-V2 missile developed and delivered by DRDO earlier, was tested at the National Open Area Range at Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh. "The ULPGM-V3 is equipped with a high-definition dual-channel seeker that can strike a wide variety of targets. It has a two-way data link to support post-launch target/aim-point update," an official said on Friday. The missile is equipped with three modular warhead options, including an anti-armour one against modern tanks and infantry combat vehicles equipped with rolled homogeneous armour with explosive reactive armour. The other two are a penetration-cum-blast warhead with bunker-bursting capabilities and a re-fragmentation warhead with "a high lethality zone". Calling it "a major boost" to India's defence capabilities, defence minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO and its industry partners, MSMEs and start-ups for the development and successful trials of the ULPGM-V3 system. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "This success proves that the Indian industry is now ready to absorb and produce critical defence technologies," he added. The missile is jointly developed by the DRDO labs like the Research Centre Imarat, Defence Research and Development Laboratory, Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory, High-Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Integrated Test Range and Defence Electronics Research Laboratory. The UAV, in turn, has been indigenously developed by start-up Newspace Research Technologies, Bengaluru. "DRDO is actively pursuing integration of ULPGM weapons with long-range and high endurance UAVs from several other Indian companies," the official said.
