The system has already been matured and could conduct defense and commercial missions such as long-range oceanographic sensing, undersea battlespace awareness, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, seabed mapping and infrastructure health monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril\u2019s chief strategy officer, Christian Brose, told Defense News that the two companies had been in talks for some time about how to pair Dive\u2019s lower-cost UUV \u2014 which is built using commercial off-the-shelf internal parts and a 3D-printed hull \u2014 with Anduril\u2019s expertise in machine learning and intelligent networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, the two companies decided the best path forward was for Anduril to acquire Dive Technologies and turn it into the maritime division of the larger firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe very much feel like we\u2019re already on the same team in the sense that they just want to move very quickly; they want to build disruptive capabilities; they want to get them out onto the water, under the water, into the hands of operators; and solve problems fast \u2014 which is the very same kind of disruptive approach that we bring,\u201d Brose said of the 30-person Dive Technologies team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey also bring just an enormous wealth of expertise and experience in the undersea domain, which is just very different than every other domain that the military operates in. Everything is different and unique there in terms of communications, or lack thereof; navigation; much higher levels of autonomy required to be successful down there; to say nothing of just the unique challenges of being under the water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brose repeatedly described Dive Technologies\u2019 work and potential collaboration with Anduril as \u201cdisruptive.\u201d He said the open-architecture DIVE LD comes in at about a tenth of the cost of competing LDUUVs and was built for rapid integration of new technologies \u2014 with new payloads to be integrated and tested on the DIVE LD in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe thesis of [Anduril when it was founded] was that rather than sort of trying to build better versions of traditional things \u2026 these technologies allow you to change the approach to your problem radically, where autonomy allows you to reduce cost and manpower such that you can now envision approaches to problems that look like larger, and larger numbers of very autonomous, very intelligent, much lower-cost, more attritable systems working together to actually automate and accomplish missions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the military side, he said the U.S. Navy\u2019s Snakehead LDUUV program is being built for a good mission set, but \u201cI think we would contend that there\u2019s actually a lot of things that a large autonomous underwater vehicle could do beyond the things that the current program of record has been specifically focused on accomplishing. Particularly when you start adding in higher levels of autonomy, embedded sensor processing, rapid customization, and just the cost reduction, the ease of launch and recovery, all things that the Dive system makes possible \u2014 it really starts to open up other missions,\u201d Brose said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5280\" height=\"2970\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg 5280w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DIVE-LD-1.JPG.jpg?resize=2048,1152 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5280px) 100vw, 5280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dive Technologies&#8217; large displacement autonomous underwater vehicle. (Dive Technologies)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DIVE LD, at 20 feet long and 4 feet in diameter, can travel hundreds of kilometers and \u201ccarry a pretty significant amount of payload,\u201d Brose said. That, plus the low cost, coupled with Anduril\u2019s \u201cAI-enabled systems and processes,\u201d create something the company thinks it can sell to a range of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brose was also excited to bring Dive Technologies\u2019 maritime expertise to Anduril\u2019s original counter-drone system for base defense and force protection. Coupled with the current system \u2014 the Lattice operating system, Sentry tower and a small Anvil drone as the interceptor \u2014 Brose said a UUV could provide additional sensing for the defense of coastal bases and facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril was founded in 2017. In April 2021, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2021\/04\/01\/anduril-buys-tube-launched-drone-developer-area-i\/\">acquired drone-maker Area-I<\/a>, giving it a low-cost, tube-launched drone to pair with its advanced autonomy developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January, U.S. Special Operations Command selected Anduril to lead its counter-drone systems integration work in a $1 billion deal, <a
