Boeing has now delivered the first of its Orca extra-large unmanned undersea vehicles, or XLUUVs, to the U.S. Navy.
The company stated in a tweet,
“More than a decade of pioneering work went into developing Orca, a new class of autonomous submarine that can perform long-duration critical missions in contested and changing waters”
Delivery of the submarine drone has been delayed by several years, in part due to differences between Orca and its prototype as well as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The delivery came after Boeing and the US Navy conducted several phases of at-sea testing, including maneuvering above and below the surface
