Anduril Industries says its new cruise missiles can be mass produced twice as fast for 30% less than other missiles.

The defense startup just introduced its new Barracuda autonomous aerial vehicles intended for rapid manufacturing at scale.

The designs feature 50% fewer parts. The assembly is highly automated, requiring 95% fewer tools to build.

The Barracuda-M family has three models:

- The Barracuda-100 is lightweight and launchable from the ground and air. It's meant for quick, short missions.

- The midsized model, the Barracuda-250, fits in the weapons bay of fighter jets. It balances range, speed, and payload capacity.

- The Barracuda-500 has a range exceeding 500 nautical miles, reaching targets over 926 kilometers away.
