German defense and engineering firm Euroatlashas presented its new autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), Greyshark, designed for undersea reconnaissance and surveillance operations.

The company unveiled the cutting-edge technology in Paris during the Euronaval 2024 exhibition.

“The new AUV can be used for various tasks including critical underwater infrastructure (CUI) protection, patrolling, and mine warfare,” reported Janes, quoting Eugen Ciemnyjewski, managing director of Euroatlas.

Features

The Greyshark cruises at a speed of 10 knots (11 miles/18 kilometers per hour) and has an operational range of 1,000 nautical miles (1,150 miles/1,852 kilometers), enabling it to undertake extensive underwater missions.

It can reach depths of up to 650 meters (2,132 feet) and is equipped with a precision navigation system that ensures stable coverage and accuracy throughout its submerged range.

The AUV can be deployed from both harbors and larger vessels, according to Janes.

The Greyshark is capable of independent operations or coordination with swarms of up to six AUV units for mine detection operations and identification of adversary ships.

Euroatlas also provides a full-service infrastructure to support its AUVs, offering end-to-end solutions for its transport, deployment, refueling, maintenance, and operation.

This ensures that the Greyshark performs efficiently and adapts to international regulations and requirements for both maritime civil and defense operations.
