U.S. defense contractor Anduril Industries is set to establish a significant advanced manufacturing facility in central Ohio, as announced by state officials. The California-based company plans to construct a massive facility named 'Arsenal 1' on a 500-acre site near Rickenbacker International Airport in Pickaway County.
