US defence firm Anduril in talks for Nissan plant to build drones in Japan, sources say

▤ Summary

Anduril is in talks to acquire Nissan’s Oppama plant in Japan to produce military drones locally. The move would convert a historic auto factory into a defense manufacturing site if the parties reach a deal. Japan’s government is looking to expand defense production, which makes the site strategically relevant for future drone and munitions demand. Anduril also appears to be positioning itself to meet local-content requirements and win Japanese military orders.
