Teledyne Marine Enhances Undersea Warfare Capabilities During AUKUS Exercise Lanternfish 2026
Teledyne Marine participated in Exercise Lanternfish 2026, a multinational AUKUS Pillar 2 initiative aimed at enhancing seabed warfare capabilities. From June 14 to 26, 2026, Teledyne Marine collaborated with the U.K. Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy at Naval Base Kitsap-Keyport, utilizing the Teledyne Gavia unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) to support operations. The exercise is significant as it aligns with the AUKUS Pillar 2 objective of advancing undersea, autonomous, and sensing capabilities among the U.S., U.K., and Australia. Teledyne Marine's involvement included providing technical expertise and specialized Gavia modules, which facilitated successful UUV surveys and the testing of the new Acoustic Intelligence (ACINT) module. Looking ahead, the outcomes of Exercise Lanternfish 2026 may influence future collaborative efforts in undersea warfare among the allied nations. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
