Anduril has delivered the first of the planned three extra-large autonomous underwater vehicles called 'Ghost Shark.'
Anduril has announced the delivery of its first prototype, the “Ghost Shark” underwater drone, to the Royal Australian Navy . The first of the three planned programs is a collaboration between the RAN, the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator , and the Defence Science and Technology Group .
The Ghost Shark is an extra-large autonomous undersea vehicle that will serve the RAN on critical missions in the Pacific. Three of these vehicles will be delivered to the RAN within three years. “Due to its modular and multi-role nature, our adversaries will need to assume that their every move in the maritime domain is subject to our surveillance and that every XL-UV is capable of deploying a wide range of effects — including lethal ones,” RAN Admiral Peter Quinn explained in a press conference back in 2022.
Given the sensitive nature of the program, few other details are publicly known, but Admiral Quinn has stated a few tantalizing details, including that Ghost Shark can allegedly be controlled remotely from various domains.
