Evidence & current status
Public specifications are attributed to the cited sources. Advertised limits are not assumed to occur simultaneously.
Dive-LD is Anduril's large-diameter autonomous underwater vehicle, derived from the Dive Technologies business. It is marketed for both naval and commercial missions, including undersea survey and surveillance. The vehicle carries its own electric propulsion, energy and control systems, allowing untethered operation with equipment selected for the customer's mission.
A substantial flooded payload volume and open interfaces are central to the design. The published payload figure is a volume allowance, not a mass that can be carried in every environment. The manufacturer advertises roughly ten-day endurance and a 6,000-metre depth rating; these are configuration-dependent product limits, not an independently demonstrated guarantee under all payload and speed combinations. Handling options include vessel deployment and operations from shore infrastructure. Dive-LD is distinct from the larger Dive-XL and Australia's Ghost Shark programme. Their industrial relationship does not justify transferring dimensions, delivery milestones or performance figures between records. This entry therefore retains supplier-reported status unless a specific customer or vehicle configuration is supported by separate acceptance evidence.
