Defense company Anduril (Costa Mesa, Calif., U.S.) has selected Columbus, Ohio, as the location of Arsenal-1, its first hyperscale manufacturing facility. Arsenal-1 will aid in building up the scale and speed in which the company develops its autonomous defense systems.

The company says that Ohio is an ideal location for its factory, offering robust infrastructure to support Anduril’s needs, a highly skilled and diverse manufacturing workforce, and a legacy in aerospace and defense. Located next to Rickenbacker Airport, the site provides direct access to two 12,000-foot runways and a 75-acre private apron capable of supporting military-scale aircraft, ensuring rapid delivery of components and systems to  customers.
