Editorial summaries
Dive-LD
Anduril's Dive-LD is a large-diameter autonomous undersea vehicle and a modular-payload defense-subsea entry in DEPLOY's maritime cohort. Verified specs: up to 6,000 meters operating depth (a depth rating, not a hull dimension) and about 10-day endurance, for ISR, mine countermeasures, anti-submarine warfare, and seafloor mapping, running Anduril's Lattice autonomy.
It originates in Anduril's 2022 acquisition of Dive Technologies, and its Dive-XL variant is the commercial baseline for Ghost Shark. DEPLOY records commercial maturity. It is defense procurement equipment sold on contract; there is no consumer price.
Bedrock AUV
Bedrock's AUV is the commercial-subsea-survey entry of the maritime cohort: an autonomous electric undersea vehicle for seabed mapping and offshore survey (wind farms, cables), paired with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform. It operates independently underwater on inertial navigation with onboard edge compute, neither towed nor tele-piloted while submerged.
Bedrock is a US Public Benefit Corporation, and its pitch is unit economics: each AUV costs under $1 million, and the company frames two AUVs as covering the same ground as one mapping ship. It is sold to offshore-survey operators, not consumers; there is no consumer price, and the sub-$1M figure is a B2B unit cost, not a consumer price.
