The underwater battlespace is changing faster than perhaps any other in the maritime domain. And that’s why Navy Leaders is so excited to introduce the newest addition to its portfolio: Seabed Defence. Because the modern world is more connected and interdependent than ever, we are ever more reliant on critical undersea infrastructure (CUI).

Globally, naval forces are facing complex threats that will challenge our ability to compete with peer adversaries in future warfare. Recently our near peer threats have not been standing still, far from it. They have been observing our armaments, equipment, and tactics to develop an increasingly capable force of their own. As a result, naval forces now face a multitude of advanced threats; including uncrewed systems, anti-ship munitions and Cyber/EW effects to name but a few. As a result, naval forces are transforming physically, conceptually, and culturally to maintain advantage in an ever-shifting world shaped by technology, climate change and increasingly aggressive peers.
