Anduril Industries has held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new factory in Rhode Island, designed to manufacture advanced underwater defence systems. The 100,000 square-foot site at Quonset Business Park is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.

 

The facility will focus on building artificial intelligence-powered autonomous underwater vehicles, particularly the company’s Dive-LD models. The project represents an $8.3 million investment by Anduril, supported by state tax breaks and incentives.

The new production site is projected to create hundreds of jobs across engineering, design and manufacturing. According to Anduril Chief Strategy Officer Christian Brose, the investment was made possible through collaboration with state officials and Quonset Development and its managing director Steve King.
