Underwater anomaly-response probe: cheap, autonomous, disruptive?
Detects anomalies via onboard sensors. When triggered — it surfaces and transmits a coded signal. Primary channel: optical (laser/IR/LED). Backup: satellite (Iridium). No infrastructure needed. Weight ~2kg. Can be dropped from plane, drone, or boat. Powered independently. Modules replaceable.
Use-cases:
Provokes enemy subs to expose themselves
Large-scale activation = deception
Creates noise and false targets
Presence simulation in strategic areas
