Marine robotics, underwater drones, AI, and useful productivity signals.

In this video, the Slocum Glider from Teledyne Marine is deployed from a Zero USV, demonstrating a fully uncrewed approach to ocean data collection. Combining an autonomous surface platform with an underwater glider can support persistent maritime oper

The signal here is continued momentum around operational autonomy at sea: perception, endurance, reliability, and the boring-but-critical integration work that turns prototypes into field tools.

José angle: this is close to OceanScan territory — autonomy, mission robustness, operator tooling, data products, and how underwater systems become dependable enough for real work.

## Iran’s Capture of the U.S. Navy’s Dive-LD Underwater Drone: What It Means The War Zone reports that Iran has captured an Anduril Dive-LD uncrewed underwater vehicle used by the U.S. Navy. While the system is modern and capable, it was intentionally

Worth tracking because underwater autonomy is moving from specialist demos toward persistent sensing, inspection, security, and infrastructure monitoring use cases.
