On February 9, Lockheed Martin unveiled the Lamprey Multi‑Mission Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (MMAUV), a “plug-and‑play” submersible that gives U.S. and allied warfighters technological and strategic advantage in today’s contested maritime arena.
Built with the U.S. Navy’s need for covert, assured access and sea denial operations, LampreyMMAUV can arrive in theater with a fully charged battery. Mimicking nature, it can hitch a ride on a host surface vessel or submarine, utilize hydrogenators to charge batteries and arrive in theater ready for operational missions. Lockheed Martin’s LampreyMMAUV can perform a wide range of missions including delivering undersea and air kinetic and non-kinetic effects; performing intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting, and multi-intelligence collection; and deploying equipment to the seafloor.
“The modern battlespace demands platforms that hide, adapt and dominate,” said Paul Lemmo, vice president and general manager of sensors, effectors and mission systems at Lockheed Martin. “LampreyMMAUV was internally funded, letting us iterate at lightning speed and hand the Navy a true multi mission weapon that detects, disrupts, decoys and engages on its own.”
By providing persistent, autonomous undersea presence at dramatically lower cost than manned platforms, LampreyMMAUV denied areas and control the seabed.
