Engineered in the USA by Anduril, Dive-XL is an extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle weighing around 38,000 kg. Its considerable scale enables weeks-long submerged endurance and the carriage of heavy, modular payloads, allowing it to operate independently over long ranges without a support ship tethered nearby throughout the mission.
The vehicle relies on direct-drive electric propulsion for efficient long-range travel and integrates with Anduril's Lattice OS for tactical monitoring and mission oversight. That software link gives operators command-and-control visibility over extended undersea deployments, so a vehicle working autonomously for weeks can still be tasked and monitored from a central operations picture.
As a large autonomous underwater vehicle, Dive-XL supports reconnaissance, surveillance, logistics and inspections. Its endurance and payload volume suit persistent seabed presence, subsea transport of equipment or cargo, and long-range undersea missions that smaller vehicles simply cannot sustain across the region's wide operating areas. For operators managing wide maritime areas, a single vehicle able to stay under for weeks reduces the number of surface assets needed to maintain a presence.
Nexon System supports defence and offshore operators across Southeast Asia in deploying the Anduril Dive-XL, handling mission-system integration, payload planning, operator training and sustainment. Talk to Nexon to scope a long-endurance, heavy-payload subsea programme built around an extra-large autonomous vehicle. We help plan long-duration mission profiles, integrate tasking into your operations centre, and arrange the training and sustainment that extended deployments demand.
