The US Navy has selected Anduril to participate in the Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform Project, with a focus on conducting a long-range demonstration with its prototype autonomous submarine, Dive-XL. According to Breaking Defense, this contract is part of the Navy’s efforts to quickly prototype and field XL-AUVs, as outlined in the White House’s Maritime Action Plan and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle’s new Fighting Instructions guidance. Anduril views this program as aligned with its own growth strategy, citing the company’s experience delivering Ghost Shark XL-AUVs to the Royal Australian Navy.
