Royal Navy tests UUV launch and recovery ops from subs under Project Scylla

The Royal Navy has been undertaking ‘ground-breaking trials’ to demonstrate the launch and recovery of uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) from submarines.

A recent trial in the Mediterranean, under Project Scylla, demonstrated the successful launch and recovery of the vehicles. It was delivered by the Submarine Delivery Agency’s Autonomy Unit in partnership with L3Harris.

Project Scylla is being delivered through AUKUS Pillar 2, which develops advanced capabilities to benefit both Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security.  

This trial is a demonstration of the pace at which new capabilities can be developed when working closely with international partners, the navy noted.

“Delivery of these trials demonstrates our commitment to the use of advanced capabilities as part of a future hybrid Fleet and are a big step forward in delivering new capability to the Submarine Service,” Marcus Rose, Deputy Director Underwater Battlespace Capabilities, said.

To remind, the UK recently tested underwater autonomous systems at Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025 with the US and Australia, as part of AUKUS Pillar II’s Maritime Big Play series.
