Wave Glider SV3
Compact, field-proven wave- and solar-powered USV with configurable sensor and payload bays, deployable from small vessels for missions of up to 12 months.
Description
Wave Glider SV3 is Liquid Robotics' field-proven uncrewed surface vehicle (USV). Its two-part architecture, a surface float connected to subsurface wings, converts wave motion into forward propulsion, while solar energy powers sensors, communications and a thruster. Wave Gliders can remain at sea for up to 12 months. SV3 was released in 2013 as the successor to the original SV2.
Key features
- Arrives mission-ready with configurable sensor and payload bays
- Robust communications and options to tow and cast sensors
- Small size and minimal shipboard footprint for easy transport and deployment from small vessels
- Described as the most economical Wave Glider option for continuous autonomous data collection
- Scalable from a single unit to a fleet; payloads, sensors and communications are interoperable with SV5
Applications
Defense and security monitoring, ocean science and offshore energy data collection.
