What happened
Anduril Industries is jointly establishing Arsenal-2, a new shipyard in Baltimore County, Maryland. The facility represents a $6.6 billion investment, which includes $3.7 billion in private capital and up to $2.9 billion from the Navy. Arsenal-2 will manufacture critical components, such as torpedo tubes, for Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines. These components will be supplied to General Dynamics Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding.
Why it matters
The project adds a new source of production capacity to the defense industrial base. By integrating Anduril’s software-driven manufacturing system, the shipyard aims to accelerate submarine component production. This expansion supports the overall capacity of the Virginia-class program.
Anduril Industries previously announced it would build a plant in Columbus and connect its technology to DHS entities.
