The Wave Glider Transform How You Understand the Ocean The ocean plays a critical role in our commerce, security, and climate. Despite the importance of the ocean to our lives, we know far less about the ocean than we do about space or the surface of our planet. The ocean presents a difficult, dangerous, and harsh environment in which to operate especially over long durations. The Wave Glider ® revolutionizes how we explore and understand the world’s oceans by gathering data in ways or locations previously too costly or challenging to operate. Powered by waves and solar energy, the Wave Glider is an unmanned surface vehicle that allows organizations to build a network of sensors to better understand all aspects of ocean activity. The Wave Glider Advantage 24x7 Long-Duration Operations Station keeping or mobile data collection for up to 12 months with no fuel, emission, or crew at sea Real-Time Communications Gateway: Linking Seafloor to Space Provides immediate situational awareness and accelerated decision making Proven at Sea Over 1 million nautical miles traveled to date with operations through doldrums and hurricanes/typhoons Open & Extensible Platform Add new sensors and software capabilities. Integrate and operate with other systems Lower Risks & Cost of Ownership Do more with less while keeping people out of harm’s way
