Defense company Anduril Industries and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. said today they are creating an American-made computer manufacturing venture known as BlueChip.
Beginning with a laptop designed and assembled in the United States, BlueChip will develop American-built computing hardware for America’s most critical industries—including government, defense, first responders, and public safety—and rebuild the suppliers, manufacturing processes, and expertise needed to produce these systems at scale, according to an announcement on Anduril’s website today.
BlueChip brings together Qualcomm Technologies’ expertise in high-performance, power-efficient computing and Anduril’s work to rebuild domestic computer manufacturing. San Diego-based Qualcomm Technologies will supply its Snapdragon X Series, providing the laptop’s core computing capabilities, including general-purpose processing, graphics, and on-device AI.
Anduril has already developed functional prototypes of the first BlueChip laptop and plans to begin taking orders in 2027.
BlueChip laptops will be manufactured in the United States, with circuit board assembly planned for Anduril’s Arsenal-1 facility in Ohio. Anduril is developing domestic production capabilities for enclosures, battery components, and other hardware while qualifying suppliers and preparing for production.
