Der Prototyp des neuen Ghost Shark XL-AUV (Extra-Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle) von Anduril wurde fertiggestellt. Das Vehikel ist wohl grob 12 Meter lang und soll bis zu 6.000 Meter tief tauchen können (?). Die autonome Einsatzzeit soll bei vermutlich acht bis zehn Tagen liegen.

Zitat:Anduril’s Ghost Shark XLAUV Debuts In Australiahttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...australia/
Anduril, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA) and Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) unveiled the first Ghost Shark manufactured prototype and announce that the Ghost Shark program is ahead of schedule and on budget. [...]
Delivering the first Ghost Shark prototype ahead of schedule sets a new standard for capability development at the speed of need. Ghost Shark is already well ahead of its three-year development schedule.
The Ghost Shark program is delivering an operationally relevant capability within a fraction of traditional defence timelines. Early creation and testing of the first Ghost Shark has been critical for rapid learning and iteration – this is how we deliver advanced asymmetric capability.
DSTG is contributing its own pathfinding technologies into the Ghost Shark’s powerful capability, as well as design and development expertise for key systems and payloads.
