LampreyMMAUV is designed to carry out a broad range of missions, including delivering undersea and air kinetic and non-kinetic effects, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, targeting and multi-intelligence collection, as well as deploying equipment to the seafloor. “The modern battlespace demands platforms that hide, adapt and dominate,” said Paul Lemmo, adding that “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.”
The company said the vehicle’s open-architecture, payload-centric design allows customers to tailor it for missions ranging from anti-submarine warfare to unmanned aerial vehicle launch, while its dual-mode mission set supports both assured access and sea denial roles. Lockheed Martin said LampreyMMAUV delivers persistent, autonomous undersea presence at significantly lower cost than manned platforms, reflecting decades of experience in the undersea domain and a focus on delivering operational advantage to U.S. and allied warfighters.
