Anduril Unveils $1 Billion Long Beach Campus to Expand Autonomous Defense Development

The project positions the defense tech firm to scale domestic production of AI-enabled systems within Southern California’s resurgent aerospace hub.

Overview

  • The six-building campus will total about 1.18 million square feet, with roughly 750,000 square feet of offices and 435,000 square feet of industrial R&D and prototyping space.
  • The site will rise at Douglas Park near Long Beach Airport under a land lease with Sares Regis Group, which will develop the complex.
  • Anduril expects construction to begin by mid-2026, with the first building targeted to open by late 2027.
  • The company projects about 5,500 on-site jobs, and founder Palmer Luckey said these will be new hires rather than transfers.
  • The Long Beach campus complements Anduril’s Arsenal-1 manufacturing facility in Ohio and supports programs ranging from surveillance towers to autonomous aircraft, including the Fury jet introduced in 2025.
