SEAEXPLORER Gliders

Extended-Endurance, Multi-Mission Stealth Drone

Leveraging from years of research and development, the SEAEXPLORER gliders are designed to deliver industry leading performances and polyvalence for a wide range of oceanographic applications.

Modular, Rechargeable Underwater Glider with Hybrid Navigation

SEAEXPLORER gliders are designed into three parts:

Front: Payload Section

This part integrates the sensors that collect underwater data. Payloads are modular and can be interchanged, enabling sensors to be adapted to the needs of each mission. Each payload is compatible with all gliders of the SEAEXPLORER range.

See payload options

Middle: Battery Section

Gliders can remain autonomously in the water for several months at a time. Its battery can be fully recharged in just a few hours, enabling it to be rapidly deployed again.

This part also incorporates a moving mass that moves forward or backward and horizontally to enable pitch and roll.

Rear: Navigation and Communication Section

This part includes the electronic navigation cards, the wings and the antenna for transmitting the data. SEAEXPLORER gliders can be equipped with propellers for horizontal navigation in shallow waters.
