WARHOUND RAISES $200M AT A $1.2B VALUATION TO ENGINEER MILITARY DOGS AND OUTFIT THEM WITH ANDURIL SENSOR GEAR

Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter

Warhound is a startup founded by Colossal's Ben Lamm and Anduril's Palmer Luckey that plans to gene-edit Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd cell lines into working dogs with better health, speed, and smell. Anduril will supply the hardware: protective vests with data sensors that feed handlers, plus goggles. Viagen will clone the first batch, with births expected early next year and service within two years. The dogs don't exist yet, and sale prices are undecided.
