Deployment
Dive-LD at Keyport, Washington
Dive-LD is Anduril Industries' large-diameter autonomous undersea vehicle, originating from its 2022 acquisition of Dive Technologies, recorded in the registry as a new subsea model under the existing Anduril company and wired to the Lattice autonomy brain. It is rated to a depth of 6,000 meters with about ten days of endurance and modular payloads for missions spanning intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, and seafloor mapping.
The registry records it at commercial maturity reflecting a fielded, early-operational status: the first Dive-LD was delivered to the US Navy's Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron 1 in 2025, a real handoff to a named operational Navy unit that clears the gating bar, though the quantity is single or low rather than mass production, placing it above Ghost Shark on US fielding but below it on production-contract scale. A specification correction is worth recording: the frequently cited 5.8-meter figure is the hull length, conflated in some sources with depth, while the actual depth rating is 6,000 meters.
The quantity beyond the first unit, the dollar value of the Navy delivery, the operational status of Copperhead deployment from Dive vehicles, and the exact 2022 Dive Technologies acquisition date are not verified here.

Anduril delivered the first Dive-LD autonomous underwater vehicle to Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron 1 (UUVRON-1) at Keyport, Washington in April 2025. UUVRON-1 is the Navy unit responsible for deploying undersea drones for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and other missions. Delivery followed a February 2024 Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) contract award that enabled Navy units to test, buy, and operate Dive-LD. Personnel began operational evaluation and testing in real-world conditions.
