What happened
General Atomics and Anduril Industries secured contracts for Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) fighters, expanding their manufacturing presence in Pickaway County, Ohio. The Air Force ordered production of General Atomics’ FQ-42A Dark Merlin and Anduril’s FQ-44A Fury, which are designated as unmanned combat aerial vehicle fighters. Anduril Industries has grown its Pickaway County facility, Arsenal-1, to over 300 employees.
Why it matters
The contracts support a larger Air Force plan to acquire over 150 CCA by the end of the decade. The production ramp-up and the establishment of manufacturing capabilities in Ohio signal significant investment in defense technology and aerospace manufacturing in the state.
Anduril Industries is establishing a facility in Pickaway County, Ohio, to support aerospace capital development.
