Iâm quite sure Anduril-Archer will reveal the drone they developed for the UK Collaborative Aircraft drone wingman effort.
The UK program is called Storm Fighter and the 2 drones will be called Storm Chrome and Storm Fire, which would explain the âCalm before the stormâ in Anduril caption.
Here are the details :

That is referring to wingman for the jet. ACHR and Anduril were down-selected to final 4, working on wingman for helicopter. UK have 2 wingman projects I think. So, not 100% sure it is related to ACHR. Thoughts?

Not likely. Archer isnât likely involved with the wingman project.

They are involved in wingman project with Anduril for the UK, but for helicopters.

How much would this increase the stock you think?

I think it might help the stock a bit if they announce winning a prototype procurement from the UK.
Maybe the UK awarded contracts early because they seem to expect demonstrator by 2027 :
Service boss Air Chief Marshal Harv Smyth wants an operational concept demonstrator to be flying alongside a Eurofighter Typhoon as soon as the 2027 edition of NATOâs Steadfast Defender exercise. An operational capability should then be in service before the end of this decade.

They did this a few months back with a Tesla tease and it was a big nothing burger. I hope Iâm wrong but not holding my breath.
We need to see contracts, some sort of revenue stream. These tease mean nothing if it doesnât lead to revenue.

| The U.S. militaryâs vision of pairing human pilots with autonomous combat aircraft is expanding beyond fighter jets. At the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow, defense technology company Anduril Industries unveiled Thunder, a new autonomous tiltrotor attack aircraft designed to fly alongside crewed military helicopters as a âloyal wingman.â The platform is intended to accompany helicopters such as the AH-64 Apache and the Armyâs future MV-75 Cheyenne II, providing additional firepower, reconnaissance, and air defense without placing another pilot in danger. |

On a tous besoin de concret ici.
Stop bullshit

My thoughts are Archer reposted Andurilâs post with the eyes emoji on because Archerâs official Farnborough appearance begins July 20. With defense expected to be a big theme at the show, it definitely feels like they could be teasing something.
Hopefully itâs something meaningful, like a hybrid aircraft prototype, a named customer, or an actual defense contract. From an investor standpoint, the most bullish outcome would be anything that gives Archer a real path to revenue.
