These unmanned underwater drones look like they'd benefit from our type of tech.
Weight and space savings probably not so important as with airborne systems but power efficiency and autonomy just as critical, perhaps even more so, particularly in regards to the stealth profile which is of paramount importance to submersible activities.
I like the fact that you can fit 2 of them on cricket pitch (almost).
Diesel electric I guess.

Andruil's Lattice AI (software),

We can get 1000 Ghost Sharks for the price of one submarine ($23M v $28b). With our coastline (and recent "trespassers") we need all around protection. There could be squadrons distributed around the coast. Maybe that's why we need to buy back Darwin harbour.
The video draws comparison with the Ghost Bat UAV. The AI component opens possibilities for Akida, but ANdruil + AI links to OpenAI (ChatGPT) for aerial defence:

Anduril Industries, a defense technology company, and OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT and frontier AI models such as GPT 4o and OpenAI o1, are proud to announce a strategic partnership to develop and responsibly deploy advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for national security missions. By bringing together OpenAI’s advanced models with Anduril’s high-performance defense systems and Lattice software platform, the partnership aims to improve the nation’s defense systems that protect U.S. and allied military personnel from attacks by unmanned drones and other aerial devices.
U.S. and allied forces face a rapidly evolving set of aerial threats from both emerging unmanned systems and legacy manned platforms that can wreak havoc, damage infrastructure and take lives. The Anduril and OpenAI strategic partnership will focus on improving the nation’s counter-unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) and their ability to detect, assess and respond to potentially lethal aerial threats in real-time. As part of the new initiative, Anduril and OpenAI will explore how leading edge AI models can be leveraged to rapidly synthesize time-sensitive data, reduce the burden on human operators, and improve situational awareness. These models, which will be trained on Anduril’s industry-leading library of data on CUAS threats and operations, will help protect U.S. and allied military personnel and ensure mission success.
The accelerating race between the United States and China to lead the world in advancing AI makes this a pivotal moment. If the United States cedes ground, we risk losing the technological edge that has underpinned our national security for decades. The decisions made now will determine whether the United States remains a leader in the 21st century or risks being outpaced by adversaries who don’t share our commitment to freedom and democracy and would use AI to threaten other countries. Bringing together world-class talent in their respective fields, this effort aims to ensure that the U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community have access to the most advanced, effective, and safe AI-driven technologies available in the world.
Andruil use software AI to process sensor data:
https://www.anduril.com/article/and...military-platform-for-public-safety-security/
Anduril’s Lattice is an open software platform capable of being used for a variety of missions and industries — including public safety, security, and defense. Designed to be sensor, network, and system agnostic, Lattice takes data from disparate and distributed sensors, feeds, and systems and moves this data into a single integration layer. In this integration layer, AI, machine learning, and sensor/data processing techniques are used to filter high-value information to users. This filtering enables users to react to the data by tasking other systems such as sensors, vehicles, or other assets within the platform itself.
Akida could speed this process significantly. Doing AI, ML, sensor processing in a military context is tantamount to negligence.
I wonder if Andruil is one of our NDAs?
