The Ocean Floor is the Frontline

Defense and Dual-Use Technology

Good morning!

Yesterday, Anduril dropped what might be the most important defense tech innovation of the past year: Seabed Sentry.

Think of it as a surveillance system for the world’s last great stealth domain, the ocean floor. But it’s not just a bunch of sensors bolted to the seafloor. This thing is modular, rapidly deployable, and open-architecture, the holy trinity of next-gen defense systems.

At a time when:

• Russia is straining to pump out new submarines despite an aging industrial base

• China's been experimenting with deep-sea devices that could disable underwater cables or power grids (EN)

• Traditional undersea surveillance systems are becoming vulnerable

• And nations are waking up to the fact that undersea warfare might decide the next great conflict

Seabed Sentry is a game-changer.

This isn’t just about tracking subs. It’s about owning the seabed, watching everything from missile subs to sabotage drones, and doing it flexibly, without laying a mile of cable or waiting six months for depl…
