Anduril Industries announced plans to open a second major Southern California campus in Long Beach and Lakewood, expanding its footprint to meet growing demand from the US military and allied partners. The company’s headquarters will remain in Costa Mesa.
At full capacity, the campus will support about 5,500 on-site jobs, with thousands more created indirectly. Spanning roughly 1.18 million square feet across six buildings, the facility will include 750,000 square feet of office space and 435,000 square feet of industrial space dedicated to research and development. The campus is expected to open in mid-2027.
Long Beach was selected for its deep technical workforce, strong infrastructure, and long history in aerospace and defense manufacturing. Located within Southern California’s “Space Beach” corridor, the city sits near one of the nation’s largest concentrations of engineering and technical talent and has played a central role in US defense production for more than a century.
The campus is designed to foster collaboration with software and hardware engineers, flight test teams, and R&D specialists working closely alongside on-site machine shops and testing facilities. Its proximity to Anduril’s Costa Mesa headquarters and Capistrano test site will enable rapid design, testing, and iteration.
This expansion supports Anduril’s broader effort to build industrial capacity at scale, alongside facilities such as Arsenal-1 in Ohio and other US and international production sites. The Long Beach campus reflects Anduril’s long-term commitment to growing its operations in California.
