High-speed combat drone production starts at new US Anduril plant in days - Reuters

Anduril, a U.S. defense contractor, is preparing to begin production of high-speed combat drones at a new domestic manufacturing facility within days. The move represents a significant expansion of American drone manufacturing capacity and reflects growing Pentagon demand for advanced autonomous systems. Anduril has emerged as a leading competitor in the commercial defense tech sector, developing cutting-edge unmanned aircraft for military applications. The new plant signals the Trump administration's focus on bolstering domestic defense production and reducing reliance on foreign manufacturing for critical weapons systems. The timing underscores intensifying competition among U.S. defense contractors to scale up production of next-generation drone technology.
