GLIDER – Unmanned exploration

The Glider project – unmanned ocean environmental monitoring
Maritime Robotics will, as a part of the pioneering GLIDER project, integrate and operate their Wave Glider platform in the Lofoten area this autumn. The Wave Glider will be joined by the Sailbuoy from Offshore Sensing and the Seaglider from Kongsberg Maritime. Equipped with biomass-echosounders, hydrophones, CDT, fluorometers an other chemical detection sensors, the fleet of 3 ocean robots will gather important information about the ocean environment.
