ANGLER in Action: Advancing Autonomous Mine Countermeasures

Tony Lengerich
Tony Lengerich
Vice President, Naval Programs Former Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy
Thales Defense & Security, Inc.

Navies are facing persistent and evolving mine threats that challenge access and freedom of movement in contested waters. This case study will examine the development and operational role of Thales’ ANGLER uncrewed underwater vehicle, how autonomous systems are being integrated into mine countermeasure missions, and what this signals for future Navy requirements.
