Reimagine Ocean Monitoring and Operations. Unmanned Robots Powered by Nature.
The ocean is full of power and information. The Wave Glider is designed to capture both. With the latest advancements in energy harvesting and propulsion, combined with a payload and sensor architecture, the Wave Glider is a persistent mobile data-gathering platform.
The Wave Glider revolutionizes how we explore and understand the world’s oceans by gathering data in ways or locations previously too costly or challenging to operate. Powered by wave and solar energy, the Wave Glider is an autonomous, unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that operates individually or in fleets delivering real-time data for up to a year with no fuel. The station keeping or mobile data collection for up to 12 months with no fuel, emission, or crew. The Wave Glider platform incorporates the latest advancements in energy harvesting and propulsion. The energy system, software, and platform durability enable our partners and customers to integrate sensors and payloads to meet a wide-range of mission requirements.
