Anduril are building a massive high-tech drone plant in Ohio. It is a bold move to provide 'hyperscale' production and give the U.S. a decisive lead.

Anduril Industries – the maker of autonomous systems and weapons – has selected Columbus in Ohio for its first hyperscale manufacturing facility. The facility named Arsenal-1 will be built with the motive of making the United States and its allies self-sufficient in the race for autonomous systems and drones.

The facility is projected to contribute nearly $1 billion annually to Ohio’s GDP, generating $2 billion in economic output and $1 billion in labor income every year. Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, solidifying Ohio’s role as a hub for advanced manufacturing and defense technology.
