Leonardo DRS has inaugurated a $120 million naval power and propulsion manufacturing facility in Goose Creek, South Carolina. The 140,000-square-foot site will produce and test components for the U.S. Navy's Columbia-class submarines, supporting the Navy's ongoing shipbuilding requirements.

The facility aims to enhance production capacity and streamline manufacturing processes, with operations expected to ramp up in the coming years. The project is anticipated to create over 60 skilled jobs and is designed to contribute to local economic growth through tax revenue and job opportunities. Future expansions are planned to further increase manufacturing capacity, with production expected to continue into the 2050s and beyond.
