Dive-LD
A large-diameter autonomous undersea vehicle (LDUUV) with a modular payload bay that can be reconfigured for undersea ISR, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare and high-resolution seafloor mapping. It weighs roughly 3 tonnes, is rated to about 6,000 m depth and offers around 10 days of endurance. The hull uses a 3D-printed exterior and novel manufacturing for core internal structure and buoyancy. Anduril delivered the first Dive-LD to the U.S. Navy in 2025 and it was selected for the second Replicator tranche.
