# Nissan **Nissan Motor Co.** is a Japanese automaker headquartered in Yokohama. Amid a restructuring that included shuttering its 64-year-old **Oppama assembly plant** in Yokosuka, Nissan entered talks (reported June 2026) to sell the 1.7-million-square-meter, ~2,400-worker site to [[Anduril]], which would convert it into a military drone production facility. As of mid-2026 no deal is signed and Nissan is weighing other buyers. See [[Anduril Nissan Oppama Plant Acquisition Talks]]. The episode is a small marker of a larger theme: idle automotive manufacturing capacity being eyed for conversion into defense mass-production — the logic underpinning Anduril's [[Arsenal-1]]. ## See Also - [[Anduril]] - [[Anduril Nissan Oppama Plant Acquisition Talks]]
