Dive-XL

Anduril's extra-large autonomous undersea vehicle, the largest member of the Dive family (above the Dive-LD). Modular and fully autonomous with no human crew or tether, it is built for long-range, long-endurance seabed-security, ISR and payload-delivery missions. A single-payload-section build is roughly 11 m long with a ~2 m beam and about 22-ton displacement; stacking additional modules extends length and payload to as much as ~12 tons of mission gear. Anduril quotes a range greater than 2,000 nautical miles, a rated depth of about 6,000 m, and multi-week autonomy. In March 2026 the U.S. Navy and Defense Innovation Unit selected Dive-XL for an autonomous undersea program.

Full specifications

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.	11 m
Width Overall width, matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.	2 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.	22,500 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.	0

Propulsion

Propulsion specifications
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…	All-electric

Naval

Displacement, speed, endurance and diving depth.

Naval specifications
Range Cruising range in nautical miles. Nuclear vessels are effectively unlimited (fuel-wise). Higher means more reach without replenishment.	2,000 nmi Bottom 4% of submarines
Test depth Maximum rated diving depth (submarines). Deeper is harder to detect and engage. Actual crush depth is classified.	6,000 m Top 2% of submarines
