Overview

• The SG-1 Fathom autonomous gliders, powered by Lura AI, can patrol underwater for up to three months, providing persistent surveillance against submarine threats.
• Lura’s acoustic model enables detection and classification of submarine signatures 10 times quieter and 40 times faster than human operators, offering unprecedented sensitivity and speed.
• Mass-producible gliders are designed for deployment in swarms, creating wide-scale ocean surveillance networks managed by a single human operator at a fraction of traditional costs.
• The system was recently demonstrated at HM Naval Base Portsmouth to Royal Navy leadership and briefed to the Royal Australian Navy, marking a significant step toward potential adoption.
• The technology aligns with NATO and AUKUS priorities, addressing rising concerns over undersea threats, including submarine incursions and sabotage of critical infrastructure like subsea cables.
