The AUKUS security partnership, consisting of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, has announced plans to co-develop advanced unmanned undersea vehicles. Under the “Pillar II” phase of the trilateral agreement, the three nations aim to integrate autonomous underwater technology to enhance maritime defense and surveillance capabilities. This collaborative effort focuses on deploying undersea drones to monitor sea lanes and protect critical maritime infrastructure, reinforcing the alliance’s operational capabilities and presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
- The defense initiative is part of the AUKUS Pillar II agreement, which focuses on advanced technology sharing and electronic warfare capabilities.
- The unmanned undersea vehicles will be used for surveillance, intelligence gathering, and monitoring critical undersea infrastructure like communication cables.
- The joint development aims to achieve seamless interoperability, allowing the three nations to launch, recover, and control the drones from each other’s naval vessels.
- This collaboration is intended to strengthen maritime security and maintain stability in the strategically vital Indo-Pacific region.

That's right Pete…Tell all our enemies what we're building so they start building their own…🤦🏾
America is at its weakest, why doesn't XI buy the US, now that they bought all farms and failed ranches that went under with tariff failled war. Cells could go for $165.

Foulness absolute 👯 This is the lowest group decision fathomable. Filthy wretched stink!
Still nothing on Novak I see??? You wonder why the people dispose you and your corrupt propaganda machine
Why would we announce this? Seems like something that would be more effective if kept secret but kind of rumoured, no?
Five years later and broke US makes this announcement? Please! Too much talk. Too little reliability. Hegs has a lot of nerve bullying allies re money. UK AUS please look at who you are partnering with and do not pay in advance. Note especially how long it takes for this to be constructed! What is the timeline?
Get the US out of it. Hegseth is a drunken fool!
The UK Defense Minister 🤦🏻♂️
Hope it means jobs for our own
Interesting 👍
Evolution of war. Unmanned machines fighting unmanned machines. What's next? Autonomous A.I. spirited machines fighting autonomous A.I. spirited machines? Then the machines realize that humans are the problem. And they'll deal with it.!
Why are we going ahead with this project knowing the USA is more aligned with Putin than with the UK and Australia. Do we really want Putin to be informed about our defense projects?
Lets start with the dinghies first eh ! 😅
A great deterrent to China's illegal island fortificationser.
Why on earth are we getting into bed with the USA once more, they continue to prove that they cannot be trusted.
I would not trust america not to turn them on us.
God bless Aukus! 💪🏻🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇲💪🏻
I cant find a job and my government is investing in making kamkazi subs :))))
Don't forget the US destroyed the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and bombed Iran causing your energy bills to skyrocket. It was all planned to impoverish Europe and UK.
AUKUS? Really? What a great naming sense! Smh

BBC Blind Behind Corporation. Ghost Shark already out there, Ghost Bat already flight tested air-to-air missile, Hand portable laser anti-drone, Slingers already in action in Ukraine.
Would it be AUKward if the US were to be jettisoned out of the AUK_US?
BBC as evil as sharia. Free Iran
Hi
Got a facts for you bbc. Magpies attack pigeons for sport and territorial dominance in spring. Did you know this. Heron is possible to domesticate it. I had one at 6am. I communicated with it. Using eyes and visual gesture. I then throw a crab stick out for it. And while i slept it returned x2 throughout the day 1 in morning 1 in afternoon
Now theres an injurred pigeon out there indeed. Wound on its neck and back. Non lethal. Must be local gang of magpie who i witness chase a fox away 2 days back. I also saw this gang in previous years react to the death of one of their members which about 15 of them all together responded and scared away may have been a young cat
New Zealand is destined to be absorbed into Australia and Canada is destined to be absorbed into America.
I've no idea where that leaves Britain.
Formed for submarines,will deliver drones ..😂😂😂😂…what a scam for Australia
