Australia to arm Ghost Shark robot submarines with mines and strike drones
Original: Australia Arms Ghost Shark Robot Subs With Sea Mines, Strike Drones and Supply Caches
Australia is equipping its Ghost Shark autonomous submarine program with payloads including sea mines, strike drones and supply caches, expanding the unmanned vessels beyond surveillance into armed offensive roles. Developed with Anduril Australia, the extra-large autonomous underwater vehicles are being positioned as a low-cost way to deter potential adversaries in the Indo-Pacific, and the move is drawing attention to how quickly robotic subs are moving into combat capabilities.
Why now: Reports of Australia's Ghost Shark autonomous submarines taking on armed roles highlight the rapid militarisation of unmanned naval technology and its implications for Indo-Pacific security.
