General

Anduril unveiled an integrated series of autonomous underwater vehicles and sensors at Sea Air Space 2025: The Copperhead series family of high-speed autonomous underwater vehicles and Seabed Sentry, a new underwater sensing capability.=====================Anduril seeks to address the “new rules” of maritime sea power through a family of autonomous vehicles and sensors.”“What we’re trying to achieve here are new tools for the new rules, if you will, for maritime sea power,” Shane Arnott, Senior Vice President, Programs and Engineering, Maritime Division, explained to Naval News in an interview at Sea Air Space 2025.A video at the booth depicted Anduril’s capabilities working together to defeat a large fleet of warships. Two new systems deployed via the company’s existing Dive-Extra Large autonomous submarine include the Copperhead series family of high-speed autonomous underwater vehicles and Seabed Sentry. Copperhead comes in two variants at 100 and 500 pounds respectively that can support warheads and surveillance packages. In their munition configurations, designated as Copperhead-M, Arnott described their capabilities as equatable to the Mk.54 lightweight and Mk.48 heavyweight torpedoes currently in service with the U.S. Navy but at “a fraction of the cost.”Seabed Sentry, developed in partnership with Ultra Maritime, was also pitched as a new underwater sensing capability. Arnott highlighted its improvements over traditional, cable-based systems and its use of the company’s Lattice mesh network.
