The Slocum G3 glider is a networkable variable buoyancy-driven subsurface platform that can be equipped with a wide variety of sensors and programmed to patrol for weeks at a time. The underwater glider provides flexibility and efficiency in ocean observation. Its modularity and advanced propulsion system make it ideal for a wide range of oceanographic missions, ensuring optimal data collection and sensor integration.Fleets of gliders can perform sampling and dynamic mapping over large regions for research, commercial and defense applications.
Key Features:
- Modular Design: Features a dry modular center payload bay and wetted bays in the bow and stern for flexible sensor integration.
- Energy Efficient: Buoyancy propulsion system enables long-range and extended-duration water column observation.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for academic and commercial use, with over 40 sensors and options available.
- Remote Operation: Can be deployed and recovered from any size vessel with minimal time on station and controlled globally via web-based piloting tools.
- Rapid Reconfiguration: Modular design allows for quick sensor adjustments to respond to emergency conditions or specific sampling requirements.
