Overview
Multi-mission autonomous undersea vehicle from Lockheed Martin for covert surveillance, seabed operations, sea denial, payload delivery, decoy, and strike missions.
LampreyMMAUV is Lockheed Martin's multi-mission autonomous undersea vehicle for assured access and sea-denial operations. The company describes autonomous surveillance, seabed payload emplacement, electronic decoy, UAV launch, and kinetic or non-kinetic mission configurations using a 24 cubic foot open-architecture payload bay. Lamprey can attach externally to a host surface ship or submarine without host modification and recharge through built-in hydrogenerators before detaching with a full battery. At-sea exercises have demonstrated autonomous manoeuvre, surveillance, cable survey, and precise payload placement. Lockheed Martin does not publish dimensions, speed, depth, range, or endurance, so those technical fields remain null.

Notes
Lockheed Martin publishes the 24 cu ft payload-bay volume and mission concepts but does not state the vehicle's dimensions, depth rating, speed, range, or endurance. Lamprey can attach to a host surface ship or submarine and recharge through built-in hydrogenerators before detaching for its mission.
