RAN to acquire fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles

Defence Media – Ghost Shark

A $1.7 billion contract with Anduril Australia has been announced, supplying the Royal Australian Navy with a fleet of Australian‑designed and built extra‑large autonomous undersea vehicles (AUVs) – known as the Ghost Shark.

The cutting-edge platform is designed to conduct intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and strike operations, stealthily and at long range. It will deliver a significant boost to Australia’s undersea warfare capabilities – complementing Navy’s future surface combatant fleet and conventionally‑armed, nuclear‑powered submarines.
