Anduril Industries has announced plans to construct a billion-dollar weapons megafactory, Arsenal-1, in Columbus, Ohio. The five-million-square-foot facility will create approximately 4,000 jobs and is designed to enhance the production of autonomous surveillance and weapon systems. The company's decision was influenced by the site's proximity to Rickenbacker Airport, providing access to extensive runway space and additional land for future expansion. This initiative marks a significant milestone for the defense tech startup, founded by Palmer Luckey and others.
