Wave Glider SV5

Wave Glider SV5, released in 2025, is a larger Wave Glider variant at over five meters in length. Like all Wave Gliders it is propelled by wave energy, with solar power supplying sensors, communications and a thruster.

Key features

• Hull payload capacity more than triple that of the original SV3
• Extended length doubles solar power collection and storage to sustain high-power payloads
• Built for austere and extreme environments, including high latitudes and winter seasons
• Supports multiple payloads and multi-mission configurations
• Payloads, sensors and communications fully interoperable between SV3 and SV5

Applications

Long-duration defense, science and offshore energy missions where higher power or larger payloads are needed.
