Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey has confirmed the defense tech firm has developed an internal contingency plan called “China 27” that outlines how the company would operate in the event of a war over Taiwan. The strategy anticipates disruptions to global supply chains and aims to keep Anduril’s operations resilient and responsive if geopolitical tensions escalate into armed conflict.
The company’s foresight underlines the increasing overlap between private defense firms and geopolitical planning. While most private companies shy away from public discussion of war scenarios, Anduril is embracing its role in U.S. national defense and strategic preparedness. This plan aligns with Anduril’s growing footprint in AI-driven defense systems and autonomous warfare technology.
