Anduril Industries intends to build a new facility in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, which will be used for the manufacture of its Dive-LD family of autonomous underwater vehicles.

Anduril said Monday that the manufacturing facility, to be situated in close proximity to the company’s maritime engineering center in Quincy, Massachusetts, will have an area of up to 150,000 square feet and come with a variety of features like service bays and onsite testing facilities.

The facility, set to open in 2025, will work to handle the full lifecycle of Dive-LD AUVs and is expected to push production capacity to over 200 units per year.

The defense company said that demand for its Dive AUVs is on the rise. Earlier this year, the U.S. Navy awarded Anduril an $18.6 million contract to acquire Dive AUVs via the Defense Innovation Unit’s Large Displacement Unmanned Underwater Vehicles prototyping effort.
