L3Harris Iver4 900 torpedo-tube launched AUV for US Navy attack subs

L3Harris is producing the Iver4 900 as a torpedo-tube launch and recovery autonomous undersea vehicle for U.S. Navy attack submarines, effectively an underwater “loyal wingman.” The novelty is submarine-integrated TTL&R launch/recovery plus modular payloads for mine warfare, forward ISR, and seabed mapping, enabling subs to extend sensing and mission reach without exposing the host platform.
