The name's the same but there are many differences between Trek's two starships called Dauntless.

The starship that wasn't and the starship that could just about keep up with the USS Protostar.
Given there have only been two ships to bear the name Dauntless in Star Trek, the namesake has made a significant impact on the franchise.
Appearing in just one episode right at the end of Voyager's fourth season, the same year that Seven of Nine joined the show, the Dauntless seemed to offer salvation from the Delta Quadrant. With the help of the linguistically gifted Arturis, expertly played by Ray Wise, it seemed to be the quick way home however it would come to be another way home too good to be true.
Skip forward and the name of the Dauntless is revived for the animated Prodigy. It marked its first appearance under the command of Admiral Janeway at the cliffhanger ending to the first half of the season in A Moral Star before pursuing the Protostar and its juvenile crew across the galaxy for the subsequent 10 episodes.
With an instantly recognizable silhouette no matter which version you're looking at, the slipstream powered starship marks a big step forward in the ways of propulsion although it doesn't seem to be as classified as a certain spore drive or as issue riddled as transwarp.
In either case, both starships Dauntless have a lot more details to give up outside of the engine room.
