Anduril CEO: Economic warfare is the new normal for conflicts

Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf stated that modern conflicts are increasingly focused on economic disruption rather than solely military targets, citing the Strait of Hormuz as an example. He highlighted the U.S. military's rapid depletion of missile stockpiles and emphasized the need for defense companies to secure raw material supply chains. Schimpf also commented on the current defense tech valuation bubble, suggesting that most returns go to the top two players and that companies chasing high valuations face immense growth pressure.
