Today, we are announcing a new manufacturing facility for large scale production of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. By investing in a scaled production facility ahead of need, Anduril will be able to stay ahead of customer demand and deliver on orders of the Dive-LD family of AUVs with unprecedented speed. The 150,000 square foot production facility will enable Anduril to immediately increase production capacity for its Dive-LD family of AUVs to more than 200 hulls per year. The factory announcement comes amid growing demand from defense and commercial customers for Anduril's AUVs. For example, the US Navy recently awarded Anduril an $18.6 million contract for an initial buy of Dive AUVs through the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)'s Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (LDUUV) prototyping effort. AUVs are transforming maritime deterrence by providing an affordable, distributed, and adaptable undersea capability that complements the U.S. and allied submarine fleet. Developing, manufacturing, and fielding these systems at scale on an operationally-relevant timeline will be critical. https://lnkd.in/eXruJWqg
Anduril Industries continues to set the pace of innovation in the US defense industry. Anduril’s ability to bring cutting edge technology solutions that both tactically and strategically support our warfighters is truly impressive. Even more impressive, that they can do this in several key battlespace environments including on land, at sea and in the air! Anduril is the archetype of what an agile defense products company should look like!
I’m enjoying watching this company continue to grow and innovate. We need this to continue!
Reimagining, modernizing, and expanding America’s defense industrial base is one of the most pressing national security challenges of our time — a must-have to credibly deter and, if necessary, win the next great war. Congratulations to the entire Anduril team! You all continue to lead from the front!
Exciting news!! If ever we can help with any outsourced manufacturing, we'd love the opportunity to work with Anduril. Keep up the great progress, you've inspired many.
