Melbourne-based autonomous subsea drone developer C2 Robotics has landed a further $6 million contract from Defence to take its Speartooth vessel into rigorous real-world testing and progress tooling work needed to manufacture at existing commercial industrial facilities.
The six-month contract runs from January to July, with C2 expecting to begin operational testing the second generation of its large uncrewed underwater vessel (LUUV) in March. Testing will be undertaken in Victoria at Lake Eildon and Port Phillip.
The contract will also support work with Australian defence industry partners for the production of military payloads that can expand the utility of Speartooth as it works towards minimum viable capability.
