Turnchapel Wharf in Plymouth saw the introduction of the future Extra Large Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (XLAUV) for the UK Royal Navy by British unmanned systems manufacturer MSubs. The achievement is a component of London’s “Cetus Project,” which aims to build an unmanned submarine fleet to improve the military’s capabilities in modern underwater combat. When the ships are delivered, they will be sent out independently to monitor sub-sea operations throughout the nation’s territories and safeguard vital infrastructure.
