High-speed combat drone production starts at new US Anduril plant in days
Anduril’s $1 billion Arsenal-1 facility will initially employ 250 workers and aims to create 4,000 jobs, producing Fury combat drones for the U.S. and allied defense forces.
- Anduril Industries will begin building its "loyal wingman" Fury combat drones in the coming days at a new Ohio facility, addressing surging U.S. military interest in unmanned aircraft following battlefield successes in Ukraine and Iran.
- Located 20 miles south of Columbus, the $1 billion Arsenal-1 manufacturing campus expects to employ more than 4,000 people over the next decade, starting with roughly 250 workers by year-end, officials said Thursday.
- Prioritizing manufacturability from the start, Anduril utilizes commercial materials like aluminum and recreational boat-building techniques rather than traditional defense methods to deliver technology more quickly and at lower cost for the Pentagon.
- Besides the Fury, the new factory expects to produce the Roadrunner interceptor, Barracuda cruise missile family, and a classified program by year-end, supporting Air Force plans for next-generation uncrewed platforms.
- Hoping to upend weapons manufacturing, the Trump administration views newer firms as key to delivering cutting-edge technology faster and cheaper, positioning Anduril among a growing group competing for lucrative Pentagon contracts.
