Ghost Shark Gains Teeth With New Underwater Warfare Capabilities
The Australian Department of Defence has unveiled new underwater warfare payloads for its unmanned naval drones, which will be integrated onto Anduril’s Ghost Shark, C2 Robotics’ Speartooth, and Ocius’s Bluebottle unmanned surface vessel. The payloads will enable remote delivery of supply caches, sea mines, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and will be tested at the ongoing AUKUS Pillar II exercise in the US. According to the Australian DoD, these technologies will contribute to enhanced undersea warfare capabilities and protection of critical undersea infrastructure. The unveiling was first reported by Breaking Defense.
