Research team’s simplified design increases performance by an order of magnitude, while making it affordable enough for wider use.

Imagine a swarm of these
I imagine that's precisely the idea there. A sub is fairly limited in the amount of torpedoes it can carry, so a big enough swarm of drones becomes literally impossible to stop.
It's kind of odd how every hardkill system seems to have the fatal flaw of "well what if there's a bit more of the stuff you're supposed to stop"
The US designed it's fleet based around one big heavy attacking another big heavy. It's in their nature to want a big threatening bully of a ship. It also helps that big heavy threatening things are magnitudes more expensive than smaller more effective things. The whole navy is this way. Its why we have so many carriers and why they get their shit pushed in in simulation after simulation by a force that instead uses a whole bunch of smaller ships.
Well actually also it's designed around one big heavy bullying a few smaller under equipped ships and or attacking smaller nations that aren't capable of defending themselves.
Attached to explosive drones popping US subs? Sounds awesome.
