Defense company Anduril Industries will invest nearly $1 billion in its new 5-million-square foot “hyperscale” military manufacturing plant just outside Columbus, Ohio.
The Costa Mesa-based company calls the site Arsenal-1 and says it’s designed to eventually produce tens of thousands of military systems each year.
It will be built next to Rickenbacker International Airport, which features two 12,000-foot runways to help guarantee access and supply routes, Anduril said in a press release today.
“Pending approvals, construction on the facility will begin immediately and the first products will be manufactured beginning in July 2026,” the company says.
