About
Global Ocean Design LLC was founded in 2011 by ocean engineer Kevin Hardy, building on more than 50 years in ocean instrument and deep ocean free vehicle design. Before founding the company, Hardy retired from Scripps Institution of Oceanography/UCSD after a 40-year career.
In 2012 he built two large unmanned landers and led the lander deployment and recovery team for the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE expedition in the Mariana Trench. Inspired by the unmanned lunar landers of the 1960s, the company creates untethered underwater robotic platforms for science, government and commerce. Its factory is in San Diego, California.
