In partnership with Boeing, the world’s largest aerospace company, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) has demonstrated how a revolutionary high-tech autonomous ocean vehicle, the Wave Glider, can improve monitoring of the Great Barrier
What could you do with a robot in the water 24/7? Get extreme current data in real-time, measure seafloor motion with millimeter accuracy, monitor downhole pressure and temperature during well P&A, and more. Today, the offshore energy industry faces tremendous pressure to restructure its base...
If we don’t know the ocean, we can’t measure or predict its impact on our landmass and our future prosperity. Australia has 25,000 km of coastline and 10,000 sq. km of marine territory to manage. How do you keep tabs on this vast area? Without...
We just finished spending a week with 35,000 of our closest colleagues at the world’s largest Defense and Security Conference, DSEI 2017 in London. If you haven’t attended, you could not imagine the entire ExCel Expo Center (over 100,000 square meters) filled with global defense...
Today we announced a new version of the Wave Glider. Here I’ll cover what’s new with this release, and what it means for our customers’ missions. First, a bit of context. Since the Wave Glider SV3 was announced in 2013, we’ve completed hundreds of customer...
Enhanced platform extends operations in high sea states and high latitudes Liquid Robotics®, the leader in long duration, unmanned surface vehicles, today announced the next generation of the Wave Glider with advancements to the
Off the coast of northern Chile, where the Nazca plate meets the South American plate, scientists from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have installed a network of sensors to measure and track seafloor motion. Their goal is to better understand earthquake and tsunami...
What is the reality of maintaining the status quo in military technology? Usually, it’s the safe approach and the one supported by limited budgets, long procurement cycles and unimaginative political and military leadership. Without the courage to think and act differently, to incorporate innovative commercial...
The recent Advanced Naval Technologies Exercise (ANTX) was an impressive demonstration of advanced unmanned systems. Over the course of two days, in two separate but thematically linked locations, dozens of technology concepts were mobilized and demonstrated. Hundreds of participants and visitors from government and industry...
With advances in sensor technology and autonomous systems, scientists are now able to measure seafloor motion down to millimeter-scale accuracy through two miles of seawater. This emerging scientific field of seafloor geodesy is not only opening up research opportunities, but also commercial applications in areas...
The Digital Ocean is bigger than one product or company. It’s a massive vision for what’s possible when we unite behind a shared purpose: to create a persistent network of sensors and devices from seafloor to space, giving us real-time access to ocean data. Around...
One of the core ways we help support our customers’ missions is with our piloting services. So what exactly does a Wave Glider pilot do? Eric Niven, one of our most experienced Mission Support Specialists, and Marc Sallaberry, who leads our Mission Support Operations team,...
