Project Nix

Project Nix appears in The Future of Everything: What CEOs of Circle, CrowdStrike & More See Coming in 2026 as the defense partnership between Archer Aviation and Anduril. The source describes it as an autonomous collaborative attack helicopter drone meant to provide attack-helicopter-like capability at lower cost and without putting pilots at risk.

The project matters to the wiki because it turns eVTOL technology into a Dual-Use Defense Technology case. The same aircraft, battery, autonomy, and control-stack learning that supports urban air mobility can be redirected toward Defense AI Procurement and military aviation.
