Ghost Shark Uncrewed Submarine Shown Launching Aerial Drones For The First Time

Anduril released footage showing Australia's Ghost Shark extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle launching an ALTIUS aerial drone from a raised, multi-tube launcher after surfacing. The demonstration follows Canberra's disclosure that Ghost Shark is being equipped for three payload missions: deploying up to 12 sea mines, depositing seabed logistics caches and launching aerial vehicles for reconnaissance or attack. The video establishes a launch capability, but it does not demonstrate an operational combat strike or reveal the underwater vehicle's complete deployment envelope. The Royal Australian Navy is developing Ghost Shark with Anduril as a modular, long-range uncrewed undersea platform.
