Anduril Industries, a technology company specializing in defense and security solutions, has recently announced two significant developments that underscore its strategic growth in the U.S. defense sector. The company is investing approximately $70 million to establish a drone manufacturing facility at Rickenbacker Airport in Central Ohio. This move aims to bolster its production capabilities and supply the U.S. military with advanced drone technologies. Additionally, Anduril has landed a contract valued at $900 million to implement the Integrated Battle Command System, which is designed to enhance the situational awareness of U.S. military forces in combat environments. Founder and CEO Palmer Luckey stated, ‘Our goal is to provide the military with the capabilities they need for modern warfare.’ The new manufacturing plant is expected to create hundreds of jobs and contribute significantly to the local economy, further solidifying Ohio’s position as a hub for defense technology innovation.
