What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?

Teledyne Technologies was out in force at Ocean Business, displaying its range of sensors and unmanned vehicles, including the SeaRaptor autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).
With one SeaRaptor already sold to an unnamed SAR company, the AUV is rated for depths up to 6000m and has a battery life of 24 hours, depending on its configuration.
Robert Melvin, VP of Engineering at Teledyne Gavia, explained that the 5.5m long, 1000kg+ SeaRaptor also features extensive modularity, based on the success of the Gavia AUV, with several payload ports that can be used for field-swappable sensors.
As standard, the SeaRaptor comes with Teledyne’s Benthos Sub Bottom
