One Ocean, Five Basins:
In-Situ Data with
Uncrewed Systems

Take full advantage of autonomous data collections and maximize your scientific outcomes. Operational in the most demanding ocean conditions, Wave Gliders deliver high quality, science grade data in real-time. Equip the Wave Glider with optional components, such as the winch or towbody, for even more comprehensive data sets.  

Unmatched Operational Experience

Leverage our team’s extensive knowledge. Wave Gliders have been out to sea for nearly two decades, traveling over 3 million Nautical Miles.

Cost-Efficient Science Missions

Stay on mission longer, expand your research area, or collect additional parameters. Wave Gliders help you make the most of your available science budget.

Flexible Sensor Integration

Incorporate a wide array of sensors for acoustic, oceanographic, and meteorological parameters that meet your scientific data collection needs.

Meteorological and Oceanographic Data

Meteorological and Oceanographic Data

Wave Gliders collect meteorological and physical oceanography parameters in coastal and open ocean environments. Choose between commercial off-the-shelf sensor packages or develop custom solutions based on your mission requirements.

Marine Acoustics

Marine Acoustics

Inherently silent and powered solely by wave and solar energy, the Wave Glider has proven itself to the animal tracking and acoustic monitoring community. Mount passive acoustic sensors in multiple locations across the vehicle to capture clear, low-noise recordings, track tagged animals, and retrieve data from bottom-mounted receiver arrays for fast, reliable analysis.

Communications Gateway

Communications Gateway

If you are working with bottom nodes, UUVs, or other subsea systems, the Wave Glider offers a convenient way to remotely navigate to a deployment site, acoustically communicate below the surface, offload data, and update location fixes. Access your data in real-time via satellite communication and instantly share downloads with your global collaborators.

Converting Wave Motion
Into Propulsion

Wave energy is greatest at the water’s surface, decreasing rapidly with increasing depth. The Wave Glider’s unique two-part architecture exploits this difference in energy to provide forward propulsion.
