SEAEXPLORER 200
The Optimal Underwater Glider for Coastal and Shallow Water Missions down to 200 m Deep
Ideal for coastal research and environmental monitoring, the SEAEXPLORER 200 glider redefines the landscape of exploration technology.
Engineered for nearshore environments, the SEAEXPLORER 200 navigates in shallow waters with efficiency and stability.
It is compatible with SEAEXPLORER 1000 payloads and with ALSEAMAR’s intuitive piloting interface, GLIMPSE.
SEAEXPLORER GLIDER Extended-Endurance, Multi-Mission Stealth Drone
The Optimal Underwater Glider for Shallow Water Missions
Engineered for nearshore environments (20 to 200 m deep), the SEAEXPLORER Shallow 200 navigates in shallow waters with efficiency and stability.
Hybrid propulsion for horizontal navigation in extremely shallow areas
High-efficiency ballast in shallow water
Extended battery option
Payload compatible with SEAEXPLORER 1000
Consecutive days at sea with dual-battery option
Travelled on a single mission
Modular Payloads for a Wide Range of Missions
Equipped with advanced sensors, the SEAEXPLORER 200 glider autonomously collects essential coastal data on chemical and physical phenomena, as well as marine life:
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM): environmental noise, marine mammal monitoring
Biogeochemistry: ocean health and ecosystem monitoring, plakton, nutrient cycling, climate variability, etc.
Dissolved gas: ocean acidification, carbon cycle, natural seep detection, ocean oxygenation, etc.
Physical oceanography: water transformation, ocean currents, mixed layer depths, seasonal dynamics, storms, etc.
