Last updated: 25 Feb 2026
Made in the USA by Anduril, Dive-LD is a deep-rated, large-displacement autonomous underwater vehicle weighing roughly 2,700 kg. It is built for long-endurance undersea work, pairing deep-diving capability with generous, flexible payload capacity so a single platform can serve both defence ISR and commercial survey missions.
Its modular payload bays accept side-scan and synthetic-aperture sonar, sub-bottom profilers, multi-beam echo sounders, magnetometers and cameras, letting operators build a mission-specific sensor fit. Direct-drive electric propulsion delivers an endurance of around 14,400 minutes, and Anduril's AI-powered Lattice OS handles mission tasking and monitoring across those extended, deep deployments.
As a deep-diving autonomous underwater vehicle, Dive-LD supports defence, reconnaissance, research and surveillance. It is especially strong at seabed mapping and persistent undersea ISR, serving navies, research institutions and offshore-energy operators that need detailed, repeatable surveys of deep and complex sea floors. Its repeatable, high-resolution surveys are equally valuable for baseline environmental studies and for monitoring subsea infrastructure over time.
Nexon System helps hydrographic, research and defence operators across Southeast Asia deploy the Anduril Dive-LD, covering payload integration, mission planning, operator training and support. Talk to Nexon to plan a deep-water survey and ISR capability around a proven long-endurance vehicle. Nexon aligns its sensor outputs with your charting and analysis tools, trains your crews on mission planning, and keeps the vehicle supported between campaigns. Our team can also advise on survey planning and data quality so each deep campaign delivers usable, decision-ready results the first time.
