SLOCUM SENTINEL GLIDER
The Slocum Sentinel Glider is a long-duration, buoyancy-driven autonomous underwater vehicle designed for extended missions in dynamic ocean environments. With its modular payload bays and robust energy-efficient propulsion, the Sentinel excels in collecting high-resolution oceanographic data over weeks or even months. It supports a wide array of sensors, including Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), CTDs, and passive acoustic monitoring systems. Key benefits include long-endurance missions with minimal human intervention, real-time data transmission and remote piloting, and a modular design for rapid sensor reconfiguration.
SLOCUM G3S GLIDER
The Slocum G3S Glider builds on the legacy of the Slocum platform with enhanced speed, payload capacity, and energy options. It features high-displacement modular pumps (up to 1000cc) and a thruster-assisted propulsion system, enabling operations in high-current environments and deeper waters. The G3S supports over 40 sensor configurations and is optimized for missions requiring rapid deployment and adaptive sampling. Key Benefits include an extended depth range and faster profiling, an auto-ballast system for autonomous density adjustment, and multiple energy configurations (lithium primary, rechargeable, alkaline).
GAVIA AUV
The Gavia AUV is a man-portable, modular AUV designed for detailed seabed mapping, mine countermeasures, and critical underwater infrastructure inspection. Its plug-and-play architecture allows users to tailor the vehicle with sonar, camera, and environmental sensors based on mission needs. The Gavia’s compact form and ease of deployment make it ideal for operations from small vessels or remote locations. Key benefits include rapid sensor module swapping, high-resolution imaging and bathymetry, and easy portability and deployment.
GAVIA OSPREY
The Gavia Osprey is a specialized variant of the Gavia AUV, engineered for tactical and rapid response missions. It combines the modularity of the Gavia platform with enhanced navigation and communication systems, making it ideal for time-sensitive operations in complex littoral zones. Key benefits include enhanced navigation and autonomy, real-time mission updates and re-tasking, and a compact design for rapid deployment.
These platforms exemplify Teledyne Marine’s commitment to innovation in autonomous ocean monitoring systems—delivering actionable insights from the seafloor to the surface.
