XL-AUV / Dive-XL Prototype (Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform Project)
DIU/Navy selection of Anduril's Dive-XL for the Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform Project.
In March 2026, the Defense Innovation Unit and U.S. Navy selected Anduril Industries under DIU's Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform Project (CAMP) — a Commercial Solutions Opening seeking commercially available extra-large autonomous underwater vehicles able to travel over 1,000 nautical miles and dive below 200 meters. Anduril's Dive-XL, derived from the Ghost Shark platform already delivered to Australia, must complete an operationally representative demonstration within four months of the March 12, 2026 award. Contract value was not publicly disclosed, and DIU did not confirm whether other vendors also received CAMP awards. The award supports the Navy's undersea 'Hedge Strategy' for allied-interoperable unmanned systems.
