The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is investigating systems and technologies relevant to persistent, deployable, uncrewed anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability, to provide surveillance of underwater hostiles. This is part of Project CHARYBDIS which is aiming to identify, prototype, trial and deliver systems (including associated technologies) to enable persistent, deployable, uncrewed ASW capabilities to detect, classify, localise, and report underwater hostiles, with a focus on wide areas of ocean.
