🇮🇷🇮🇷⚡️🇺🇸According to information released by Iranian domestic news agencies, the unmanned submarine seized by the IRGC Navy is identified as the Dive‑LD, manufactured by Anduril. This unmanned undersea vehicle, measuring 5.8 meters in length and 1.2 meters in diameter, has an endurance of 10 days and can operate at depths of up to 6,000 meters. Its modular design enables rapid reconfiguration to support a wide range of critical missions, including undersea battlespace awareness, ISR, mine‑countermeasure operations, anti‑submarine warfare, and high‑resolution seafloor mapping. Given its presence in the Strait of Hormuz, reconnaissance and mine‑countermeasure missions are considered the most likely roles. This unmanned submarine, classified as a Large Displacement Unmanned Undersea Vehicle, was selected in 2024 under the Pentagon’s Replicator initiative—an effort aimed at mass‑producing low‑cost defensive and unmanned systems—and was delivered in 2025 to the U.S. Navy’s Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Squadron One (UUVRON‑1). 😆Subscribe
