New Facts: Anduril Wins $2.9 Billion Navy Contract
Anduril won a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion to boost submarine production. It will build a 2 million‑square‑foot shipyard at Sparrows Point, Maryland, to make parts for Virginia‑class attack submarines. Anduril is putting in $3.7 billion; with the Navy award, total investment in the new facility comes to $6.6 billion.
The complex will rise at the former Bethlehem Steel site in the Tradepoint Atlantic logistics hub. It will produce torpedo tubes, sterns and bow sections, with initial operations planned for 2030.
About 3,100 on‑site jobs are expected at the yard. Broader projections count more than 13,000 direct and indirect jobs and roughly $2 billion in annual economic output. The build is intended to ease supply bottlenecks that have delayed Virginia‑class deliveries, and the award came days after co‑founder Palmer Luckey joined a Pentagon task force on future weapons.
