It’s (a lot of) the same people. Anduril is co-founded and run by close associates of Peter Thiel, who is a founding member of Palantir. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anduril_Industries > In June 2014, Palmer Luckey, the creator of the virtual reality headset Oculus Rift, attended a retreat on Sonora Island, British Columbia, hosted by Founders Fund, an early Oculus investor. Luckey met **Trae Stephens, 30, who had recently been persuaded to leave Palantir and join Founders Fund by its leader, Peter Thiel.** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Luckey > In June 2017, Luckey founded the autonomy-focused military technology company Anduril Industries, **along with former Palantir Technologies executives Matt Grimm, Trae Stephens, and Brian Schimpf**, and early Oculus VR Hardware Lead Joseph Chen. > In March 2018, Anduril began a pilot program for the US government to detect human trafficking and drug smuggling in remote areas of the southern border of the US; the program led to 55 attempted entrants being caught in its first 12 days in operation. Anduril later won the Autonomous Surveillance Tower Program of Record, resulting in the deployment of hundreds of Anduril Sentry Towers at a cost of "hundreds of millions of dollars".
