Slocum G3 Glider: Advanced Autonomous Ocean Monitoring
Long-Endurance, Modular, and Remote-Operable for Diverse Applications
The Teledyne Marine Slocum G3 Glider is a buoyancy-driven autonomous underwater vehicle designed for long-range, extended-duration ocean monitoring. Used in academic, military, and commercial applications, it can be deployed from any vessel and controlled remotely via web-based tools, enabling fleet management with minimal personnel. Its modular design supports over 40 sensor options, allowing rapid reconfiguration for diverse oceanic conditions.
With months of endurance, an optional thruster for added speed, and the ability to operate in extreme sea states, the Slocum G3 ensures continuous data collection without risking personnel or costly assets. It autonomously follows pre-programmed routes, surfacing to transmit real-time data and receive new instructions. High-resolution sampling over repeated transects provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods.
Proven across multiple ocean basin crossings, the Slocum G3 benefits from decades of buoyancy-driven system expertise. It features robust software, automatic ballasting, low-power modes, and ice navigation capabilities. Mechanically, it includes a hydraulic flight drive, pneumatic surfacing drive, and an optional hybrid thruster. Designed for ease of use, it requires only one to two operators for deployment and recovery, making it an essential tool for persistent, autonomous underwater monitoring.
