D-Wave, Davidson Technologies, and Anduril collaborated on a proof-of-concept demonstrating quantum-classical hybrid computing for missile defense planning. Using D-Wave's Stride hybrid solver on the Advantage2 system with real defense simulations, the approach achieved 10× faster solutions than classical methods, improved threat mitigation by 9-12%, and enabled interception of 45-60 additional missiles in 500-missile attack scenarios. The companies plan to expand collaboration to other defense optimization challenges including contested logistics, distributed manufacturing, and cyber defense.
