On December 12, 2022, Australia announced the name of its latest robotic submarine: "Ghost Shark" unmanned submarine. The submarine was jointly developed by Anduril, the Australian Navy and the National Defense Science and Technology Group, and was designed as a large underwater automatic machine guided by artificial intelligence. "Ghost Shark" will be a stealth robot, built for the future sea war. It was reported on the website of Popular Science on December 30, 2022 that when choosing a name, the Royal Australian Navy chose a name that not only expresses invisibility, but also pays tribute to the wildlife of the continent. Brigadier General Daron Kawana of the Royal Australian Navy said: "The name of the 'Ghost Shark' comes from a native shark that we found in the southern waters. In fact, this shark is found in deeper waters, so it is very hidden. It is also connected with the 'Ghost Bat' UAV of the Air Force." In May 2022, Anduril announced that it is developing a super large autonomous underwater vehicle for the Royal Australian Navy, It is now the "Ghost Shark" unmanned submarine. The news announced by Anduril said: "This aircraft is modular and customizable, and can also be optimized using various payloads to perform a wide range of military and non military tasks, such as collecting advanced intelligence, infrastructure inspection, surveillance, reconnaissance and target capture." The mission of this unmanned submarine includes detecting enemy ships and their movements, as well as identifying targets for weapons launched from other vehicles. One of the most robust prospects of autonomous systems is that by using sensors and built-in fast processing equipment, these machines will be able to detect, identify and track enemies faster than the human operators of sensor systems. If the role of the "Ghost Shark" unmanned submarine is limited to aiming rather than launching weapons (at least initially), then this kind of submarine will avoid the difficulties and consequences of letting the machine make its own lethal decisions. According to the latest defense website, at a news conference in December, Rear Admiral Peter Quinn of the Australian Navy said that the adversaries would have to assume that the Spirit Shark was not only monitoring their actions, but also "capable of deploying a wide range of 'effects', including lethal' effects'".
