Chris Brose’s (Anduril, Chief Strategy Officer) Potomac Watch interview adds some important detail to the Arsenal-2 announcement: • America needs both inexpensive autonomous systems and nuclear-powered attack submarines. Each has a role in deterring war. • More funding alone hasn’t solved submarine production. Brose argues we also need to change how the work gets done. • Anduril has already invested roughly $160 million of its own money into the effort, including its California prototype factory. • The workforce plan: break complex jobs into simpler, technology-supported tasks so more people can contribute sooner. • Modernize manufacturing and certification together, while maintaining the same safety standards. • Anduril intends to share the production technology with Electric Boat, Newport News, and the Navy. Brose says the established yards could use it at no cost. • Arsenal-2 is being designed to adapt to future maritime systems, beyond its initial submarine work. • This will take sustained bipartisan support. Brose explicitly cautions against expecting an overnight jump in submarine output. The thread running through all of this is what we keep coming back to here: rebuilding American industrial capacity means investing in people, improving how we build, and getting new technology into established programs. If Arsenal-2 can help other shipyards improve alongside it, that’s a win that reaches well beyond Anduril. 🇺🇸 youtu.be/2qZtkOZlWQ8?si=bY2L…
