Anduril's vision for powering maritime defense

Maritime defense energy systems are bottlenecked by packaging and certification, not battery chemistry, with the undersea battery market still only hundreds of megawatt-hours.

• Water vs. air energy cost: Moving a vehicle through seawater takes roughly 1,000 times more energy per nautical mile than through air, driving propulsion-dominated energy budgets.
• No mid-mission refueling: Maritime vehicles must carry all energy needed from launch since there's no "gas station architecture of the sea," unlike EVs that recharge en route.
