US EditionAI-enabled underwater gliders could enhance Royal Navy ASW capability
- Helsing, a German defense tech startup, plans to deploy its AI-enabled SG-1 Fathom underwater gliders for Royal Navy surveillance in 2025 near Portsmouth Naval Base.
- The deployment responds to growing threats against subsea infrastructure and challenges faced by fixed sensors and traditional ASW platforms amid increasing underwater contestation.
- SG-1 Fathom uses Helsing's Lura AI system to analyse acoustic data with unprecedented precision, enabling identification of submarine classes and individual vessels over long missions up to three months.
- Helsing states the system can be mass-produced and operated in large swarms, allowing one operator to monitor hundreds of gliders simultaneously at a tenth of traditional ASW costs, delivering actionable intelligence.
- The technology enhances naval capabilities by providing persistent, large-scale underwater coverage that is expected to improve threat detection and deterrence while addressing the evolving maritime security environment.
