Back to overview

The US Navy has received the Speartooth Large Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle (LUUV) from Australian firm C2 Robotics, marking the first publicly identified export of this autonomous submarine. The 26-foot vessel is designed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions with a range of 1,243 miles and operational depth of 2,000 meters, operating on a hybrid lithium-ion and diesel propulsion system. The delivery represents a significant step in US-Australia defense cooperation and demonstrates the growing shift toward unmanned warfare systems in modern naval operations.
