Sovereign autonomous undersea capability
Designed for the
contested maritime edge.
Modular underwater systems built in Australia for missions where communications, positioning and certainty are constrained.
01 / Capability
One platform.
Multiple mission sets.
Mantacore is developing a modular, mid-size underwater platform that brings adaptable autonomy and practical payload capacity to the missions between crewed systems and extra-large UUVs.
Mission-configurable
Twin modular payload bays support sensing, communications, recovery and specialist mission packages.
DDIL resilient
Designed for useful operation when positioning, communications and remote compute are degraded or unavailable.
Trusted autonomy
Edge processing, confidence scoring and mission-led prioritisation reduce operator burden at the tactical edge.
Sovereign by design
Australian-led engineering, secure IP and a controlled supply chain built around local capability.
02 / Platform
Engineered around the mission.
The MCUUV is a sovereign underwater capability and trusted-autonomy experimentation platform—compact enough for practical deployment, configurable enough to evolve with the mission.

03 / Mission set
Capability that changes with the task.
Persistent ISR
Distributed sensing and sustained observation across complex littoral environments.
Mine countermeasures
Modular detection, classification and survey support without placing crews in the threat area.
Critical infrastructure
Persistent monitoring of subsea cables, ports, energy assets and strategic approaches.
Payload experimentation
A practical, reconfigurable platform for rapid trials of sensors, autonomy and resilient C2.
04 / Autonomy in motion
Sensing the undersea battlespace.
Persistent sensing, adaptive response and mission-led operation—delivered at the maritime edge.
05 / Autonomy architecture
Autonomy built around mission understanding.
Mantacore’s autonomy architecture is being developed to help the MCUUV recognise what matters, evaluate uncertainty and continue supporting mission objectives when communications, positioning and remote computing are limited.
