Anduril and Qualcomm Team Up for American-Assembled Laptops

The project centers on the goal of domestic manufacturing, though initial production will be limited to "designed and assembled in the United States." Assembly is slated for Anduril’s Arsenal-1 facility located in Ohio. Both companies have yet to outline a concrete roadmap for achieving fully localized production, which currently depends heavily on components sourced from Taiwan and China.

During a recent media briefing, CEO Palmer Luckey and Qualcomm head Cristiano Amon emphasized that the move is driven by national security priorities and economic sovereignty. By bringing assembly stateside, the partners hope to mitigate vulnerabilities associated with global logistics and create domestic high-tech jobs. For now, the focus remains on fielding a prototype capable of meeting the specialized requirements of the US military, leaving the transition to a fully American-made supply chain as a long-term ambition.
