Anduril and Qualcomm launched the BlueChip laptop line. The first model uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Series processor. TSMC will make the chip in Phoenix. Anduril will assemble the laptop at its Arsenal-1 plant in Ohio. The line targets government, defense and public safety users. It will ship in 2027. Orders will open the same year. The prototype sources over 90% of components from the US and allies. Anduril aims to reshore the full supply chain over time. Both firms funded the project entirely themselves.
