Technology and Competitive Trends
HII REMUS 620 UUV
In 2025, HII introduced its REMUS 620, a next-generation Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) designed to support long-endurance and modular operations. It features a maximum range of 275 nautical miles and a battery life of up to 110 hours. The system supports both wet and dry payloads, including synthetic aperture sonar and electronic warfare tools. Its modular design allows rapid integration into various deployment platforms, from submarines to helicopters. The REMUS 620 uses HII's Odyssey autonomy suite for enhanced mission planning and execution and is capable of operations like mine countermeasures, hydrographic surveys, and surveillance missions.
Helsing SG-1 Fathom
German defense startup Helsing unveiled its SG-1 Fathom glider in early 2025. This AI-powered underwater drone uses the Lura system to detect submarine threats based on sound signatures and is capable of patrolling submerged environments for up to three months continuously. The 60 kg glider, operating silently at 1-2 knots, supports mass deployment scenarios through swarming intelligence. The system integrates satellite communication capabilities to upload data upon surfacing and features passive acoustic sensors for near real-time threat classification and surveillance.
Emerging Technological Trends
Swarm Robotics: Multiple UUVs or gliders are increasingly being deployed in coordinated missions, enhancing area coverage and fault tolerance.
Extended Mission Endurance: Innovations in battery design and energy-efficient propulsion are allowing systems like REMUS 620 and SG-1 Fathom to operate for days or even months without needing to surface.
AI-Based Autonomy: Companies are integrating advanced AI for autonomous decision-making and pattern recognition. Helsing's Lura system exemplifies this by analyzing acoustic data faster than human operators.
Modular Systems: Customizable payload bays and mission-specific plug-and-play architecture are becoming industry standards for rapid prototyping and deployment.
Hybrid Vehicles: Platforms capable of switching between autonomous and remotely operated modes are gaining traction in complex mission environments.
This evolution of intelligent underwater equipment reflects a global emphasis on enhanced defense readiness, infrastructure protection, and autonomous exploration capabilities in challenging maritime environments.
Strategic Outlook
As the global underwater economy grows toward a projected €50 billion annually, companies like Fincantieri have aggressively scaled their underwater defense division. Their 2025 Q1 results show a 35% earnings increase and a €57.6 billion order backlog, driven by partnerships and acquisitions in unmanned underwater tech.
Policy shifts, including evolving U.S. tariffs, are expected to impact global supply chain dynamics and regional competitiveness. Market participants are urged to closely monitor policy responses and adapt their strategies accordingly.
The report suggests stakeholders focus on emerging high-growth areas like AUVs in China and subsea power line maintenance in India, where infrastructure and security concerns converge.
