Submarine

The US Navy has tidied up after itself by, for the first time, launching and recovering a Yellow Moray Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) through the standard torpedo tube of a Virginia class nuclear attack submarine.

The sea of tomorrow might be about as difficult to traverse stealthily as an elephant stomping through a room full of mousetraps thanks to Anduril's Seabed Sentry undersea sensor network that uses AI to autonomously track ocean traffic.

American defense technology company Anduril has rolled out its Copperhead-M – an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) that provides uncrewed subs with the punch of a smart torpedo carrying up to 500 lb (227 kg) of high explosives.

Britain has laid the keel for the Royal Navy's largest-ever submarine. At BAE Systems's Barrow-in-Furness facility, the ceremony marked the "birth" of the nuclear-powered and armed HMS Dreadnought, one of the most advanced submarines to date.

A Cold War nuclear missile will remain in service for a total of 94 years thanks to a US$383 million US Navy contract, with Lockheed Martin to modernize the submarine-launched Trident II missile and stretch its life until 2084.

Dutch company U-Boat Worx first proposed adding a new flagship undersea explorer to its range back in 2021. The design got a speed boost the following year, and now the first production Super Sub has been revealed.

In June 1974, the offices of the Summa Corporation in LA were broken into, sparking the revelation of one of the oddest and boldest stories in the history of espionage. It involved submarines, a mad millionaire, and an absolutely wild cover story.

In what seems like a remarkably obvious move, ESA is working with the Portuguese Space Agency and the Portuguese Navy to use life aboard a naval submarine to learn more about the effects of isolation during long-term space missions.

DARPA has unveiled more of its mysterious Manta Ray robotic sub, with impressive new images of the prototype Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) undergoing its first sea trials off the coast of Southern California. And it's somewhat of a beast.

The public (at least the rich public) will soon be able to take a break from their luxury cruise to ride a luxury submersible. Triton Submarines has delivered its first Triton 660/9 AVA to a cruise company to take passengers into the depths in style.

Australia's robotic submarine program takes delivery of its first Ghost Shark Extra-Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) prototype – a machine that ditches the pressure hull and life support to gain an edge in size and stealth.

Northrop Grumman introduces its first completed prototype Manta Ray Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle that it is developing for DARPA. The extra-large submarine glider is designed to carry out long-range undersea missions without human assistance.
