Three distinct platforms form the operational core of MASU’s capability set. The Ghost Shark, built by Anduril Australia in Sydney, is an extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle designed for long-duration submerged missions across vast oceanic distances. Unlike conventionally crewed submarines, it uses a flooded hull design that eliminates the need for a pressurized crew compartment, with waterproof zones protecting propulsion, navigation, and payload systems. In September 2025, Australia committed to acquiring dozens of Ghost Shark XL-AUVs under a A$1.7 billion program, with vehicles entering service from early 2026. The first operational Ghost Shark was delivered to the Royal Australian Navy in January 2026, following the start of low-rate production at Anduril’s Sydney manufacturing facility.

The Speartooth, developed by Melbourne-based C2 Robotics, is a large uncrewed underwater vehicle occupying a complementary niche below the Ghost Shark in terms of size and cost. The Speartooth offers long range, low cost, and minimal logistics requirements for storage, launching, recovery, and operation, making it well-suited for high-volume deployment scenarios where operating large numbers of vehicles simultaneously is operationally advantageous. Both the Ghost Shark and the Speartooth are produced domestically in Australia, a deliberate sovereign manufacturing strategy with export potential built in.

The third platform, the Bluebottle uncrewed surface vessel built by Sydney-based Ocius Technology, operates above the waterline and adds a dimension that subsurface systems cannot easily replicate. Powered by wind and solar energy, Bluebottles provide persistent surface presence over extended periods without resupply. Bluebottles operated by ThayerMahan have completed anti-submarine warfare trials in the United States and demonstrated resilience to extreme weather conditions, including 20-meter-high waves during the 2025 hurricane season. The platform can also function as a communications relay node for the underwater vehicles operating beneath it, providing a critical data link between submerged autonomous systems and command networks ashore or afloat.
