# Anduril Plans Ohio Laptop Production

Anduril and Qualcomm are developing BlueChip rugged laptops for military, government, and other sensitive-use customers, with orders planned to begin in 2027 and production planned at Anduril’s Arsenal-1 facility in Ohio. Anduril’s sourcing statements have changed: earlier reports described prototype U.S.-origin content at about 32% by component procurement cost, while the company later committed to at least 65% U.S.-made components at launch; a separate claim of more than 90% U.S. and allied sourcing uses a broader measure. No agency solicitation, government contract, production volume, or contract value has been announced.

- Buyers should distinguish U.S.-origin content from U.S.-and-allied sourcing and seek final sourcing documentation before determining whether BlueChip qualifies as a domestic end product under applicable Buy American rules.
- The planned 2027 order opening is a potential market entry point for suppliers of U.S.-made components, rugged computing hardware, and related technology; production quantities and supplier qualification details have not been disclosed.
- Anduril plans laptop production in Ohio, while Qualcomm says the laptop chips will be made in Arizona. Companies in those supply chains can assess whether their products fit the announced domestic-sourcing goals.
