Per Baltimore Fish Bowl:

Anduril Technologies lists the Dive-XL, Dive-LD, Copperhead, and Seabed Sentry among its autonomous underwater vehicles and detection systems with commercial and defense capabilities.

The Seabed Sentry in particular is described as “an AI-enabled sensor that brings connectivity and awareness to the deep dark sea.”

Trump’s visit will come on the heels of news that the U.S. Army plans to establish a new autonomous systems command to support the development of autonomous technologies in warfare, including watercraft, Axios reported.

“The Army is rapidly advancing to maintain our lethal edge,” acting service Secretary Adam Telle told Axios. “This is about combat readiness to destroy the enemy and ensure our Army never enters a fair fight.”

“We are incorporating boat and autonomous systems into our team and accelerate pace and escape,” Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said while speaking before Trump. “You can ask the Iranians.”

Upon arriving in Maryland, Trump flew over the crowd of Navy midshipmen and officers on Marine One.
