New Year, New Gear: Threats, Modularity, and Agility to Drive Subsea Defense in 2026
in 2025 across multiple domains, including the undersea environment, with DIU’s calls for CAMP as well as low-cost undersea effectors. Earlier, in 2024, uncertainty surrounding the Snakehead program’s transition to a program of record led the Navy to pursue a COTS solution, selecting Oceaneering International to provide a large displacement unmanned undersea vehicle (LDUUV). This pattern of prioritizing fieldable capability over prolonged development cycles appears set to continue. Momentum is already carrying into 2026 with DIU’s call for an Autonomous Vehicle Orchestrator, a vehicle-ag
