This report examines the development of uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) in Australia and India and the case for bilateral cooperation in the undersea domain. It argues that the two national ecosystems are complementary rather than competitive, and that a phased, capability-driven partnership that begins with benign and civil applications is more likely to endure than early collaboration in sensitive undersea warfare technologies.

Drawing on verified procurement records, budget documents and industry data from both countries, the report identifies near-term matches between documented Indian requirements and established Australian capabilities, six medium-term areas of shared technological priority, and the structural obstacles standing between them. It closes with seven initiatives with indicative costs, most of which require no direct expenditure.

Building on the previous two Australia–India UDA workshops, the Third Workshop in Australia will focus on undersea search and rescue, deep-sea awareness, and industry challenges in operationalising emerging technologies. The programme will also feature a table-top exercise under the project’s first Expert Exchange, supported by DFAT under SATPI.
