Navy contract for Virginia-class submarine parts from Anduril's Maryland shipyard Copy link

The Navy awarded Anduril a contract worth up to $2.9 billion for Virginia-class submarine components and large assemblies, to be built at Arsenal-2, a shipyard Anduril plans at Sparrows Point, Maryland, and delivered to Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding. Payments are tied to demonstrated production; the contract does not pay for the facility. The award number and contract type have not been published and it does not appear on USAspending, so no amount obligated is public; a senior administration official said funding is expected mainly from fiscal 2028 on.

Trump's team consulted Stephens on reshaping the military after the election, Bloomberg reported.

The announced $6.6 billion combines this Navy ceiling with Anduril's own $3.7 billion investment in the shipyard; only the Navy contract is federal money to Anduril and only it is listed. Maryland and Baltimore County committed incentives of up to 13% of Anduril's investment, subject to legislative approval; those are state funds and not counted. Trump said taxpayers would receive a 40% stake in the shipyard but did not say how, and Anduril's announcement does not mention government ownership. Trump thanked Luckey by name at the Oct. 6 event, calling him a “friend,” CNBC reported. On Sept. 30, 2026, days before this award was announced, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth named Luckey, with Elon Musk and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, to lead Project Meridian, a 120-day Pentagon study of the weapons and capabilities the U.S. may need in future wars.
