Teledyne Marine Gavia has more than doubled the size of its Engineering and Production facilities in Kopavogur, Iceland, and increased its staff in engineering, manufacturing, and support roles.
The expansion is in response to the increased demand for both low logistics Gavia class systems and larger the Osprey and SeaRaptor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).
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.
Stefan Reynisson, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Gavia, said; “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.”
Teledyne Gavia continues to benefit from its strategic location in Kopavogur, Iceland. The facility offers convenient access for in-water testing and easy access to the harbor, supporting Teledyne’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in subsea technology.
Teledyne Gavia has a long-standing history of innovation in Autonomous Underwater Vehicle technology, having manufactured the Gavia 1000m rated AUV since 2003. In 2018, the company added the SeaRaptor 6000m AUV to its fleet. By 2022, Teledyne Gavia released the Osprey 2000m rated AUV and is currently working on an air deployed Gavia variant expected to launch in late 2024.
