"It's an absolute crisis, which we caused ourselves. You can't hire enough machinists, welders, anything for any of these Navy programs. The deficit is like 10 to 1. It takes 10 years to be a good Navy welder."
Chris Power (@2112Power) and Jake Loosararian (@jakeloosy) on America's skilled worker crisis:
"The only way you get there is with productivity improvements through AI and robotics to strap an Iron Man suit to the skilled workforce."
Jake Loosararian: "How fast can you get a McDonald's or a Home Depot employee working on critical parts and components for nuclear reactors? That's how we have to judge how well we're doing in Silicon Valley."
"Don't give me this 5 or 10 year vision. Help me figure out how to get people in the fight. That's what Americans want."

Honored to be ranked #15 on the 2026 #NATSEC100. Thank you to @SVDG_official and @JPMorgan for the research and recognition.
The report frames the challenge clearly: this ecosystem must manufacture, sustain, and deliver at the volume modern deterrence demands. This is exactly the work Hadrian was built for.

Distributed shipbuilding is how we rebuild America’s maritime industrial base. Proud to be working with VADM Gaucher and @USNavy to bring modern manufacturing and real production capacity to the fight.
Shipbuilding Plan Delivered.
Let's get to work!

"If you rank a Toyota Camry through to Starship and what the hardest thing to make in America is, nuclear submarine is easily the first."
Hadrian's Chris Power (@2112Power) on the $2.4 billion bet to save America's submarine program:
"We just announced a joint Navy-Hadrian investment of $2.4 billion across a 2 million-plus square foot production facility in Alabama to create a thousand jobs dedicated to Virginia and Columbia-class submarine manufacturing."
"There are a million welders short. You couldn't go hire a million welders today to catch up on that hours deficit, it's simply a math problem."
"Because we're highly automated we can actually produce labor using autonomy and a new labor force paired with AI and robotics."
"It's about 1/20th of what we actually need to catch up."

Hadrian CEO, @2112Power, joined @MilkenInstitute to discuss modernizing military power.
Rebuilding capacity requires new approaches to manufacturing: combining software, automation, and a workforce model that can scale with demand.
It comes down to how fast we can build.

Our team had a great tour of Hadrian’s new $2.4B advanced manufacturing facility that will soon be fueling our warfighters and American military might.
It will create 1,000 new local jobs – and generate hundreds of purchase orders for small businesses across northwest Alabama.

BREAKING: No one can Factory like Hadrian.
"Hadrian, best factory."
Hadrian recently opened Factory 4, a new $2.4B public-private advanced manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama to produce key components for U.S. Navy Columbia- & Virginia-class submarines, combining ~$1.5B in private capital with $900M in government funding.
The 2.2M sq. ft. facility is expected to reach full production within 24 months, create up to 1,000 jobs, & accelerate submarine output by automating production & reducing worker training time to ~30 days.

BREAKING: Chris Power CEO of Hadrian says “Everyone should tell their kids to quit college & get welding degrees”
"The country needs you."
“The next 2 decades is blue collar.”
Hadrian is also bringing back Pepperidge Farms & baking.
“All the white-collar jobs are going to get automated.”
“We’re gonna see massive hyperinflation in blue-collar salaries.”
"I think one of the greatest opportunities for private capital — apart from public-private investment alongside the Department of War (@DeptofWar) — is to build Chick-fil-A’s & bars around all of our factories.
That’s free alpha. Please come set up franchises around all of our factories. We need to eat so we can work harder for the country."

"We don't have enough machinists. We don't have enough quality inspectors. We don't have enough welders in the country."
Hadrian CEO Chris Power on how a modern software-driven factory works differently from traditional manufacturing:
"At that task level, we have to get them 90% more productive."
"If you want to train a Navy welder today it's going to take you a decade. So we have to augment the skills with software."
"The flexibility to constructing something like a submarine demands is incredibly what we call high-mix, low-volume."
"If you're building a Toyota Camry you're making 20,000 of them a year... You can easily automate a million iPhones."
"What the software enables is running at that level of factory productivity but with the flexibility that something like a submarine demands."
"So it's really the velocity and agility and reducing the amount of people because we just don't have the people in the US."
"We have to get this productivity uplift with software and a new workforce."

It’s official: Hadrian’s Factory of the Future 4 in Cherokee, Alabama is open.
Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SECWAR, we heard remarks from @SECNAV, @SenKatieBritt, @SenTuberville, @SenatorWicker, @RepMikeRogersAL, @Robert_Aderholt, and VADM Gaucher.
Thank you to the 4,000 Alabamians who joined us and showed what’s possible when we build in America again.
This partnership marks the start of Hadrian, the Navy, and the @DeptofWar’s reindustrialization campaign in support of the President’s Restoring Maritime Dominance EO, Peace Through Strength agenda, and the Golden Fleet.

That mission to build the next era of production is reflected in Factory 4 itself.
Designed by @AlbertKahnAssoc, the facility draws on the legacy of the factories that powered the Arsenal of Democracy, reimagined for the AI age and the submarine fleet.

The work to Reindustrialize America is just beginning, but it will define whether we lead the next century or fall behind.
We’re here in Alabama to build. Friday was a proud day for Hadrian, the Navy, and the Shoals community who showed up en masse.
Now the real work begins - getting submarines in the water, fast.
