In this video, the Slocum Glider from Teledyne Marine is deployed from a Zero USV uncrewed surface vessel, demonstrating a fully uncrewed approach to ocean data collection.
The buoyancy-driven Slocum Glider is designed for long-range, long-duration water-column observation, autonomously collecting oceanographic and environmental data beneath the surface.
Combining an autonomous surface platform with an underwater glider can support persistent maritime operations while reducing reliance on crewed vessels. The approach enables distributed sensing, long-duration monitoring, and remote operations across ocean science, military, and commercial applications.
