The future of defense is taking off — and most Americans don’t even know it’s happening. That’s created a massive profit opportunity for investors in the know.
And today, I’m going to tell you all about it.
With the holiday season in full swing and President Trump preparing to reenter the White House, hardly anyone noticed the massive deal that was just struck between two cutting-edge tech companies.
One of those companies is Anduril — a private firm that's led defense tech funding this year, having raised $1.5 billion in August. The company was founded by Palmer Luckey, who previously founded Oculus VR and sold it to Meta for $2 billion.
Anduril was also selected as a Pentagon partner for the “Replicator” program, which aims to mass-produce advanced war-fighting drones. That deal will have the Pentagon gobbling up Anduril’s Ghost-X stealth reconnaissance drones.
The Ghost-X deploys in minutes from a slim rifle case, has a 15-mile range, can fly for up to an hour and a half, and has a 25-pound payload capacity.
Andurial also has advanced software like “Lattice,” which is an AI-powered command and control platform.
Lattice integrates data from multiple sensors to provide real-time situational awareness, and automates threat detection, tracking, and decision making. It’s already plugged into hundreds of military systems today, according to an Anduril spokesperson.
And that is what’s at the crux of Anduril’s latest partnership.

You see, last week Anduril teamed up with Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) — an up-and-coming manufacturer of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicles.
VTOL may just sound like a fancy way of saying helicopter, but it’s not. These futuristic flying machines have a completely different propulsion system and can be hybrid or completely electric (eVTOL).
The military likes them because they’re quiet, efficient, and have a smaller heat signature than aircraft with combustion engines, making them harder to detect and target.
And now Archer is combining its aircraft with Anduril’s military expertise in a partnership that aims to get a piece of that sweet, sweet Pentagon procurement funding.
But here’s the thing…
I’ve been ahead of this trend for some time. And while this deal bodes well for Archer, there’s another VTOL company that’s already a key Pentagon partner. It has been for years.
A contact of mine at Edwards Air Force Base in California told me all about it last year.
He called the company's vehicle a “drone,” but one that carries people. It’s already in use, ferrying soldiers, mechanics, and cargo across the 470-square-mile base. It’s all part of a secretive program called “Agility Prime.”
The program, which aims to integrate eVTOLs into the military, has been in existence since 2020.
It’s doing this for all the reasons I just mentioned. The aircraft are stealthier and more efficient than helicopters. And they can be piloted remotely, so you don’t need an air-trained expert to fly one.
They’re perfect for routine patrols and light cargo transport. But they’re also ideal for stealth missions — deploying and extracting special forces.
Archer and Anduril look primed to turn them into killing machines, as well — bigger, more lethal drones that can engage enemy combatants. And at a relatively low cost, too.
These aren’t F-35s we’re talking about. They’re cheaper and more attritable. They can be lost in combat and the military doesn’t have to send a flag home to sobbing parents.
This is the future of warfare. But it’s also got a commercial application.
The company I locked down months ago is going to begin flights in New York City next year — and Dubai after that. It’s already rewarded Secret Stock Files subscribers with a 40% gain since March.
But next year, when the company’s eVTOLs hit Broadway, the stock is really going to take off.
