About

About Dive-XL

Dive-XL is an extra-large autonomous undersea vehicle with a mission range beyond 2,000 nautical miles. Its approximately 11.4-cubic-metre payload volume accepts configurable sensing, communications and mission modules, extending Anduril’s Dive architecture into jobs requiring substantially more energy and payload than Dive-LD.

A two-point lifting arrangement supports launch and recovery from suitable ships and shore infrastructure, while onboard autonomy executes long-duration missions without a tether or continuous remote pilot. Dive-XL is intended for surveillance, seabed operations, infrastructure work and defence payload delivery. Dive-XL remains under development and in production scale-up.
