In this special episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Steve Kuper is joined by the co-founder and CEO of Anduril Industries, Brian Schimpf, as they talk about building an allied industrial base and the intricacies involved.

Recorded live at Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition 2025, the pair also discuss a range of subjects, including:

  • The mechanics behind developing and implementing a comprehensive industry policy in a developed nation.
  • The lessons of pre-Second World War industrialisation in the United States and the lessons learned through the "New Deal" that helped secure Allied victory.
  • The myths about the role of automation in contemporary manufacturing and the role of skilled humans in and on the loop when it comes to modern, high-end, mass manufacturing.
  • Designing capabilities and technologies from the ground up to be built en masse, via an IKEA-style approach.
  • The scale and scope of Anduril's Arsenal-1 factory, currently under construction in Ohio.
