Persistent, Autonomous
Acoustic Sensing
Enable regulatory soundscape compliance and receive actionable acoustic data through continuous passive and active monitoring. Wave Gliders provide comprehensive real-time acoustic data for offshore infrastructure sites.
The Lack in
Acoustic Monitoring
Acoustic data provide a wealth of information, though collecting and retrieving them on a regular basis poses a challenge in day-to-day operations.
Real-Time
Acoustic Operations
with Wave Gliders
Whether tracking construction noise, monitoring marine mammals, collecting seismic survey feedback, or performing bathymetry survey, Wave Gliders support a wide range of scaled, acoustic monitoring tasks. With ultra-long endurance, Wave Gliders can remain on station for up to one year.
Using wave propulsion and solar power, Wave Gliders maintain an inherently low-noise profile, optimal for undisturbed acoustic monitoring.
Wave Gliders support multiple sensors and payloads at once, enabling passive and active acoustic data collection while logging additional environmental parameters.
Tap into real-time vehicle and sensor feeds for instant course adjustments, mission control and decision-making. Choose from satellite, cell, Wi‑Fi, and Line-of-Sight communication options.
Fleet Formations
for Seismic Surveys
As part of Liquid Robotics’ past Joint Venture with Schlumberger, fleets of Wave Gliders were deployed in conjunction with seismic survey vessels to collect resultant acoustics on seabed makeup.
Fleets of 20 Wave Gliders towed custom passive acoustic sensors to collect the reflections off the seabed from the source vessel. All data is delivered in real-time to the operations center via satellite communications.Â
