mk - probably around $2 million on average based on this number - 900 AUVs at $1.8B:

"A new study published today by analysts Douglas-Westwood “The AUV Gamechanger Report 2008-2017” forecasts that over 900 Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) will be required over the next decade at a cost of some $1.8 billion – and the biggest buyer will be the military."

I remember the conversation around oil and security - AUVs would work well for this in addition to surveying etc. Old link from 2000 but lays out the market for AUVs and savings obtained due to them:
