Arsenal One

Overview

Arsenal One is Anduril’s Columbus, Ohio factory campus in the All-In defense technology episode. The source presents it as a concrete manufacturing project for Defense Industrial Base Reindustrialization and Factory-Based Deterrence.

Current Profile

In the episode, Trey Stephens describes Arsenal One as a five-million-square-foot campus designed for modular defense production. Its strategic role is not only to make a single product. It is meant to show how a new defense prime can pair software-defined products, private capital, and flexible factory design with the ability to replenish systems during crisis.

Arsenal One also functions as a contrast case. The episode says early Ukraine-war needs exposed how hard it can be to restart production knowledge for systems such as Stingers and Javelins once supply chains and factory memory have thinned.

Key Characteristics

• Anduril factory campus located in Columbus, Ohio in the source’s account.
