Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Compelling spec sheet and credible industrial partners (Fincantieri, Lockheed Martin), but the platform is pre-construction, self-funded without a contract, and the operationally decisive autonomy stack is untested at sea.
- Next
- Track the early-2027 sea trials, the summer-2026 RIMPAC Mk70 live-fire (on a Surveyor surrogate), and the Navy MUSV down-select (demonstrations due by October 2026) for confirmed range/endurance/autonomy results and whether Spectre is among the seven selected designs.
