Anduril has selected Columbus, Ohio as the location of Arsenal-1, its first hyperscale manufacturing facility.
Anduril is investing nearly USD 1 billion of its own dollars into the development of the new facility and expects to create more than 4,000 direct jobs.
Arsenal-1 will use a common set of commercial manufacturing tooling, machinery, and processes for every type of autonomous vehicle that Anduril produces. The foundation of Arsenal-1 is Arsenal OS, an integrated digital software platform that integrates the design, development, and mass production stages for all Anduril products.
Located next to Rickenbacker Airport, the new site provides direct access to two 12,000-foot runways and a 75-acre private apron capable of supporting military-scale aircraft. At full scale, the facility will span five million square feet and produce tens of thousands of military systems annually. More than 500 additional acres are available for future expansion.
The decision to build Arsenal-1 in Ohio follows an extensive, year-long search process that evaluated numerous locations across the United States and is contingent upon standard due diligence, state and local approvals of incentives, permitting and other legal and regulatory matters. Pending approvals, construction on the facility will begin immediately and the first products will be manufactured beginning in July 2026.
