BREAKING: Anduril is aiming to enable undersea communication between autonomous systems.
Today,
@anduriltech acquired Popoto Modem, which develops underwater acoustic communications technology.
As the U.S. Navy invests hundreds of millions of dollars into unmanned undersea vehicles, communications infrastructure to manage and connect these growing fleets becomes increasingly important.
Popoto is focused on economically scalable, multi-node underwater networking, enabling autonomous vehicles, sensors and other systems to communicate underwater at lower cost.
Anduril’s immediate focus is integrating Popoto’s technology into its Copperhead family of autonomous underwater vehicles, with the goal of enabling a single operator to manage large formations of AUVs.
