Anduril Industries Acquires Underwater Acoustics Firm Popoto Modem
What happened
Anduril Industries announced the acquisition of Popoto Modem, an underwater acoustics company based in Massachusetts. The integration focuses on affordable acoustic modems that Anduril has been testing for over a year. This technology allows for persistent, multi-node mesh networking underwater, enabling autonomous vehicles to communicate with each other, surface vessels, and the broader fleet simultaneously.
