Sector spotlight: defense-tech M&A heat under Anduril's shadow

Anduril's expansion across the autonomous-systems stack puts platform-consolidation pressure on adjacent point-solution vendors — the classic setup for a wave of mid-tier defense-tech M&A. This is the kind of question Forum Forecast is built for: in an illustrative run over the defense corpus, the model surfaces the mid-tier companies whose 12-month M&A probability is elevated, and driver attribution traces each forecast back to the SEC filings, press releases, and award data that moved the probability.
