Large Displacement - Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (LD-AUV)

Abstract

The Large Displacement - Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (LD-AUV) project provides for evaluation of an AUV for long-range missions with large kinetic effects capable of being delivered subsurface to disrupt and deny an adversary’s ability to establish or maintain power at sea. This effort will accelerate prototype military demonstration and evaluation of the LD-AUV system performance and capability. In FY 2023, this effort tested and evaluated the LD-AUV prototype vehicle and associated capabilities in relevant ocean environments to perform the missions required for large-payload delivery.
