Anduril and the U.S. Navy announce plans for a new facility in Baltimore County, Maryland, aimed at producing “critical components” for the Navy’s Virginia-class submarines. The project is described as a major manufacturing expansion that will involve both government funding and private investment.
Multiple outlets report that Anduril commits $3.7 billion of its own capital to the effort, paired with a Navy award valued at up to $2.9 billion for the facility. The planned site covers roughly 2 million square feet in the Baltimore/Sparrows Point area. The outlets also highlight that the facility—referred to as Arsenal-2 by at least one outlet—will be built by Anduril as part of the Navy’s submarine industrial base.
While the core figures and location are consistent across coverage, outlets vary slightly in emphasis. Some stress the total combined investment ($6.6 billion), while others focus on the size of the site or the number of jobs the project is expected to support. Details about timelines beyond the planned groundbreaking are not uniform across reports.
