Only Defenceâs highest priorities are used to select ASCA missions and there must be an identified pathway for the innovation to transition to capability. Ten Australian companies have partnered with Anduril Australia to be ready for the manufacture of Ghost Shark, and there are 42 Australian companies who stand to benefit in the supply chain. Ghost Shark will provide Navy with a stealthy, long-range autonomous undersea warfare capability that can conduct persistent intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and strike. It will also enhance Navyâs ability to operate with allies and partners. ?The Ghost Shark will form part of the Albanese Governmentâs investment of up to $7.2 billion for the development and acquisition of subsea warfare capabilities and new autonomous and uncrewed maritime vehicles. The Government is spending more than $10 billion on autonomous and uncrewed systems, including armed systems, as part of a comprehensive plan to provide the ADF with capabilities it needs to meet strategic circumstances. ?Navy will also explore the potential for synergies between Navyâs XL-AUV program and future trilateral collaboration through AUKUS Advanced Capabilities Picture: NCA NewsWire handout
