To meet this growing demand, Teledyne Gavia has more than doubled the size of its manufacturing facility and significantly increased its staff in engineering, manufacturing, and support roles. These enhancements will bolster operations both at the Gavia facilities in Iceland and for support positions servicing the North American market in North Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Teledyne Gavia has a long-standing history of innovation in AUV technology, having manufactured the Gavia 1,000 m-rated AUV since 2003. In 2018, the company added the SeaRaptor 6,000 m AUV to its fleet. By 2022, Teledyne Gavia released the Osprey 2,000 m rated AUV and is currently working on an air-deployed Gavia variant expected to launch in late 2024. The company has also enhanced the low-logistics Gavia AUV by incorporating high-capability imaging sensors such as the Teledyne RESON T20 multibeam and the Kraken MINSAS sonars. This diversified fleet allows users to explore deeper waters globally, covering greater distances in a shorter timeframe.
Stefan Reynisson, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Gavia, stated, “Teledyne Gavia is pleased to be able to respond to customer requests for added capacity and capabilities and shorter lead times. The response to a diversified product line and additional sensors has been very positive. The goal is to meet the ever-changing needs of Teledyne Gavia’s customers.”
