The Defence Innovation Unit (DIU) and the US Navy have selected Anduril to participate in the Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform Project (CAMP), aiming to improve undersea operational capabilities.

According to Anduril, the initiative seeks to address the US requirements for deploying large payloads over extended distances underwater.

Anduril secured its involvement in CAMP after a competitive selection process through DIU’s Commercial Solutions Opening.

The company recently completed what it describes as the longest demonstration of an extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle (XL-AUV), showing extended-range and endurance in relevant conditions.

According to Anduril, its autonomous undersea vehicles have accumulated over 42,355 kilometres and 6,752 hours of operational time, supporting their use in distributed maritime activities.

Under the CAMP programme, the company is set to conduct a long-duration “operationally representative” demonstration of its Dive-XL vehicle.

The demonstration will be conducted within four months following the contract award.

CAMP operates under the US Department of Defense with a focus on rapid prototyping and deployment of XL-AUVs.

For the US Navy, this effort is expected to facilitate experimentation at scale with these autonomous platforms and establish a path toward broader operational use.

Anduril previously delivered the Ghost Shark XL-AUV to the Royal Australian Navy in 2025 and established a production facility for the programme in Australia.

“Today, multiple XL-AUVs are operated and produced in the US and Australia. With extended-range and endurance in contested environments, Dive-XL stands ready to deliver persistent autonomy under the surface,” Anduril stated on LinkedIn.

Currently, Anduril manufactures Dive-XL units in Sydney and operates a purpose-built facility in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, intended to produce multiple Dive-XLs and hundreds of Dive-LDs annually.

The Dive-XL platform features an architecture that allows for the integration of large, complex payloads or multiple sensor suites. It is designed for use in missions such as seabed survey, intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance, and strike operations.

According to information available in the company’s website, the system has a maximum range of over 2,000 nautical miles and a payload volume of approximately 11.4 cubic metres.
