Australia reveals weapons and supply payloads for Ghost Shark underwater drones

Australia has revealed three payload options for its autonomous Ghost Shark underwater vehicles: sea mines, aerial drones and supply containers for special forces.

Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy presented the capabilities at a briefing in Sydney. He said a Ghost Shark would be able to carry up to 12 sea mines at a time.

Another payload option consists of Anduril's Altius aerial drones, designed for reconnaissance and strikes. Anduril also manufactures the Ghost Shark.

The logistics payload would deliver supplies and equipment for special forces in hard-to-reach locations.
