SEAEXPLORER: Autonomous Underwater Sensing Platform

The SEAEXPLORER underwater glider is an autonomous sensing platform with very high endurance for both coastal and offshore marine environments: the glider is driven by buoyancy changes (no propeller) for low energy consumption and weeks to months of autonomous missions without the need for a surface vessel. The SEAEXPLORER is an effective profiling tool for water column observation.

Along the saw-tooth like navigation profile the glider collects different physical and biochemical parameters through its attached sensors.

The glider is regularly monitored by the onshore-based pilot each time it surfaces, to remotely download data and update the mission.

Key Benefits

Large scale surveys (weeks to months of endurance without a surface vessel)
Continuous, “in situ” & multi-parameter measurement
Dissolved chemical compound sensing
Near real time data transmission & mission management
Autonomous & very cost effective survey
No environmental footprint / low HSE risk
