The verified answer

As of Sep 2026, DEPLOY verifies Dive-LD, a underwater by Anduril Industries (commercial): 3 verified deployments on record. 4 sources back the record.

Overview

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.

Notes

Verified: Dive-LD is Anduril's large-diameter subsea AUV (from the 2022 Dive Technologies acquisition). VERIFIED delivery: the first Dive-LD was delivered to the US Navy's Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron 1 (UUVRON-1 / UUV Group 1) in 2025 - a real fielded handoff to an operational Navy unit. New MODEL under the existing anduril company; wired to the lattice brain., CORRECTION (depth vs length): The often-cited '5.8m' is a hull LENGTH figure, conflated in some sources with depth; the actual DEPTH rating is 6,000 m. Recorded correctly., Maturity = commercial (fielded/early-operational): A delivered unit to a named operational Navy squadron clears the gating bar -> commercial. Quantity is single/low (not mass production). Tier above Ghost Shark on US-fielding, below it on production-contract scale., Claimed but NOT verified: Quantity beyond the first unit; the dollar value of the Navy delivery (not disclosed); Copperhead-deployment-from-Dive integration as operational (demonstrated/claimed, not fielded); the exact 2022 Dive Technologies acquisition date (trade-press-sourced, not primary-confirmed here).

Specs

Dive-LD: large-diameter autonomous undersea vehicle, modular payloads. Verified: up to 6,000 m depth, ~10-day endurance; missions ISR / mine countermeasures / ASW / seafloor mapping. Runs Anduril's Lattice autonomy. Origin: Anduril's 2022 acquisition of Dive Technologies (acquisition-year trade-press-sourced). Dive-XL is Ghost Shark's commercial baseline.

  • Claim: Anduril Dive-LD operates at 5.8m depth

    Honest status: Anduril Dive-LD operating depth is 6,000m. The 5.8m figure is a hull-length conflation (5.8m is the platform length, not operating depth).

    Dive-LD operating depth is 6,000m. 5.8m is hull length, not depth.
