Speartooth German evaluation acquisition: Germany contract and delivery record

Development and reported outcome

C2 Robotics announced a German sale of the Speartooth Large Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle on May 20, 2026, and subsequent BAAINBw-confirmed reporting stated that the Bundeswehr had acquired one vehicle. The modular LUUV is intended for forthcoming technical evaluation by WTD 71 for experimentation with large autonomous-underwater-system concepts and payloads. Procurement of one vehicle is confirmed, but the exact contract-signing date, value, delivery date, and start of physical WTD 71 testing remain undisclosed.[S1] [S2]

Program, platform and stakeholders

Programme or contract: Speartooth German evaluation acquisition. Platform or product: Speartooth LUUV. Platform classification: Autonomous Operated Vehicle. Recorded supplier, developer or relevant organization: C2 Robotics; EUROBOTICS GmbH (reported headquarters/country: Australia / Germany).

Delivery schedule, procurement window or milestone status: Delivery/evaluation timing not publicly disclosed; testing described as forthcoming. Recorded contractual start: By 26-May-26; exact contract date not publicly disclosed.[S1] [S2]

Source verification and interpretation limits

UXV Searcher master source-coverage note: C2 Robotics announced the German sale on 20-May-2026 in cooperation with EUROBOTICS GmbH. On 26-May, Hartpunkt reported BAAINBw confirmation that the Bundeswehr had acquired one Speartooth for forthcoming WTD 71 evaluation. Exact contract-signing date, price, physical delivery date and test-start date remain undisclosed.

Interpretation boundary: The source-specific record should be used to distinguish award, arrival, commissioning and completed delivery; these stages are not interchangeable.[S1] [S2]

UXV Searcher analysis — what the development changes

UXV Searcher interpretation — contract / recorded award outcome: The Germany UUV record for Speartooth German evaluation acquisition is best treated as a committed commercial activity signal. The recorded award or contract is a stronger transaction signal than a tender; the amount and quantity still need separation into platforms, accessories, support and services.

Traceability for buyers: The dataset associates C2 Robotics; EUROBOTICS GmbH with Bundeswehr / WTD 71 for Speartooth LUUV. This supports stakeholder mapping; supply-chain tier, exclusivity and signed-customer relationships need the underlying source before firm classification.

Client-use interpretation: For intelligence users tracking Technology Demonstration / Testbed; Military Logistics / Payload Delivery, the relevant next proof points are resupply/payload handling, terrain performance and actual operator demand. Watch for acceptance or delivery reports, contract modifications and whether the stated amount covers equipment or ancillary work.[S1] [S2]

Quantitative evidence, calculations and limits

Quantity/scope signal: 1 Speartooth LUUV. Counting rule: Order/award context; not proof that hardware has shipped or entered service. Delivery/timing evidence: Delivery/evaluation timing not publicly disclosed; testing described as forthcoming. Scheduling language is not independently proof of completion or acceptance.

Any volume or value must stay tagged to its awarded work package; mixed services, components and platform counts cannot be consolidated as vehicle deliveries.[S1] [S2]
