Anduril first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anduril.com\/news\/anduril-building-arsenal-1-hyperscale-manufacturing-facility-in-ohio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">announced<\/a> the facility\u2019s construction in January 2025 and slated its first products manufacturing to begin July 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2026, Anduril <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anduril.com\/news\/arsenal-1-one-year-in\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">declared<\/a> that its first product would be the YFQ-44A, a missionized variant of the company\u2019s FQ-44, or \u201cFury,\u201d autonomous fighter jet, for the U.S. Air Force\u2019s Collaborative Combat Aircraft program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $1 billion, 5 million-square-foot facility is located near Rickenbacker International Airport and plans to add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2025\/01\/16\/anduril-to-build-arsenal-1-autonomous-weapons-plant-in-central-ohio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">4,000 jobs<\/a> to the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aircraft\u2019s production comes two weeks after the Air Force conducted its first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2026\/07\/15\/air-force-completes-first-ever-cca-live-fire-test-with-anduril-yfq-44a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">live-fire test<\/a> with its CCA. The YFQ-44A executed an end-to-end, beyond-line-of-sight strike against a simulated target using an inert AIM-120, which is an advanced medium-range air-to-air missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Anduril announced the aircraft\u2019s production, the Air Force also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nellis.af.mil\/Nellis-News\/Article-Display\/Article\/4556808\/air-force-tests-collaborative-combat-aircraft-at-creech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">revealed<\/a> on Monday the completion of a recent Agile Combat Employment exercise that showcased CCA operations at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAir superiority in today\u2019s increasingly contested environments requires the rapid fielding of affordable mass,\u201d Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Ken Wilsbach said in the release. \u201cCCA are essential to this effort. By integrating uncrewed systems to fly alongside our Airmen, we extend reach and increase lethality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The multi-day exercise was conducted by the CCA Experimental Operations Unit and was meant to build foundational tactics, techniques and procedures that will shape how the aircraft are integrated into the force, the release says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EOU completed multiple sorties, integrated with manned platforms in the local airspace and simulated scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur test teams can continuously use these warfighter-run exercises to gather and analyze data that aids in informed CCA fielding decisions well ahead of the normal process to deliver combat capability when needed by our Air Force and the Nation,\u201d said Brig. Gen. Jesse Friedel, Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center commander, whose team members observed the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air Force officials have continuously asserted that any decision to deploy munitions still lies in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2026\/07\/17\/let-the-ai-do-it-former-air-force-secretary-pits-machine-against-human-operators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">human operator\u2019s hands<\/a>, as they have control and command of the platform at all times, even though the aircraft are unmanned and semi-autonomous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a recent roundtable, former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said that building trust between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/industry\/techwatch\/2026\/07\/20\/trust-between-operators-ccas-starts-with-simulations-former-air-force-secretary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">human operators and autonomous systems<\/a> begins with computerized, man-in-the-loop simulations and training exercises, such as Red Flag at Nellis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force awarded the CCA contracts last month to Anduril and General Atomics for their YFQ-44A and YFQ-42A, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service has eyed 100 to 150 aircraft in its program\u2019s first increment, with a longer-term goal of fielding 1,000 CCAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril had not yet announced Tuesday the number of YFQ-44As the facility will produce, but the production line has the capacity to build 150 each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anduril&#8217;s Ohio-based facility produced its first
