With a focus on innovation, ALSEAMAR operates autonomous surface and subsea vehicles designed for environmental observation, while also providing maintenance, retrofit, and engineering services for various industries.

SEAEXPLORER Underwater Gliders

SEAEXPLORER is an autonomous underwater glider designed to collect vital data from depths of up to 1,250 meters. It operates efficiently for extended periods, ranging from weeks to months, on a single battery charge and without the need for a support vessel. The vehicle glides silently through the water, gathering a range of data.

With its user-centric software suite for real-time monitoring, SEAEXPLORER periodically surfaces to transmit the collected data and its GPS position, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for underwater data collection.

SEAEXPLORER’s modular design allows it to be adapted to the specific requirements of each study, enabling researchers to configure the glider with different sensors and payloads. This flexibility ensures that it can be optimized for various oceanographic applications, from physical and chemical profiling to biological and ecological monitoring.

Payload Options:

• Physics: Conductivity, Temperature, Currents, Turbidity
• Acoustics: Recording, On-board processing
• Biological: Phytoplankton, Zooplankton
• Dissolved Gas: O2, CO2, CH4
• Others: Metals, Nitrates, Light penetration, Oil-in-water

SEAEXPLORER 1000

The SEAEXPLORER 1000 is the latest generation in ALSEAMAR’s line of underwater gliders. Building on the success of its predecessor, the SEAEXPLORER X2, the SEAEXPLORER 1000 features significant improvements in power efficiency, noise reduction, and data reliability.

Drawing from years of research, development, and user feedback, the SEAEXPLORER 1000 is optimized for diverse oceanographic applications, delivering exceptional performance and versatility. The SEAEXPLORER 1000 offers a 1,250m option, extending its data collection capabilities for deeper oceanographic missions.

SEAEXPLORER 200

Designed for nearshore environments, the SEAEXPLORER 200 glider operates efficiently in shallow waters, offering both stability and reliability. Equipped with advanced sensors, this glider autonomously gathers essential data on chemical and physical phenomena, including marine life.

Fully integrated into the SEAEXPLORER ecosystem, it shares compatibility with other SEAEXPLORER vehicles in terms of payload, wings, propeller, and piloting. It seamlessly connects to GLIMPSE software for data processing and monitoring, providing invaluable insights for coastal research and environmental monitoring.
