- There are several types of large unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) being developed1234. These UUVs are intended to run for months at a time, unsupervised and hold much larger payloads than traditional UUVs2. Some examples of large UUVs include:
- LDUUV: A developmental large-displacement UUV that provides a new range of capabilities and longer range due to the larger size1.
- XLUUV: A UUV that has a length of 10 meters (which can be scaled up to 25 meters by placing additional batteries or propulsion systems such as an AIP) and a current displacement of 10 tons3. Boeing's Orca XLUUV is based on the Echo Voyager prototype UUV and is 15.5m-long4.
