Slocum glider demo in Iceland

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:16:52 GMT

This video highlights a Teledyne Marine demonstration conducted in Icelandic waters, showcasing autonomous maritime technologies operating in a demanding North Atlantic environment.

Operating from Teledyne Marine’s Gavia facility in Kópavogur, Iceland, the demonstration illustrates how autonomous underwater systems can be deployed, operated, and supported in real‑world conditions. The activity reflects Teledyne Marine’s long‑standing presence in Iceland and its role as a hub for autonomous vehicle development, testing, and operations.

The Iceland environment provides a unique proving ground—combining cold water, challenging sea states, and complex operating areas—to demonstrate reliable performance, endurance, and system integration. These capabilities are directly relevant to defense, ocean science, and commercial maritime applications requiring persistent, uncrewed operations.

Demonstration highlights include:

Autonomous underwater vehicle and glider operations
Field deployment and recovery in Icelandic waters
Remote and local mission support from Iceland‑based facilities
Proven systems operating in harsh maritime conditions

Presenter: Professor Timmy Gambin, University of Malta

For over an entire decade, the Sicilian Superintendence of the Sea together with RPM Nautical, has explored the seabed off the Egadi Islands off Trapani. This ambitious and unique project produced some incredible results including, but not limited to, the discovery of numerous bronze rams. Despite the success of the first phases of the project it became clear that a new approach was necessary to survey the site in a more efficient manner. Since 2019, the University of Malta has partnered the Superintendence and RPM - specifically through the deployment of its Automated Underwater Vehicle. This talk will introduce the battle of the Egadi Islands and will also share some highlights and discoveries from the initial phases of the project. The main part of the presentation will cover the methodologies developed in the context of this project, how these complimented existing work and what results have been achieved so far.

Teledyne Marine MCM

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 01:00:00 GMT

Teledyne Marine delivers unmanned underwater solutions for mine countermeasure missions.

The Gavia AUV is an autonomous sensor platform that is user configurable by the addition of one or more sensor, navigation, or battery modules by means of a unique twist lock system. The Gavia is a fully low logistics modular system designed to be operated from vessels of opportunity and has the greatest depth rating of any vehicle in its class. Gavia AUV systems have been utilized in real world Search and Recovery missions including the AirAsia Flight QZ8501, numerous operations from naval users, and the Icelandic Coast Guard.

The SeaBotix vectored LBV (vLBV) has the advantage of being small and lightweight, yet powerful enough to navigate strong currents while carrying a multitude of sensors and payloads. It is highly configurable both in the factory and in the field. Each of the components (i.e. thrusters, cameras, lights, electronics bottle, and flotation) is designed for easy installation or removal. This design concept allows for efficient upgrades, updates and maintenance, while minimizing down time and allowing the systems to be reconfigured and “grow” as needed.

Within the Teledyne Marine Vehicles umbrella are industry leading suppliers of unmanned systems. Teledyne Webb Research’s buoyancy driven Slocum glider is the glider of choice for the U.S. Navy’s Littoral Battlespace Sensing-Glider (LBS-G) program and scientific programs globally. Over 700 Slocum gliders have been delivered to customers around the world. Teledyne Seabotix’ Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are the man portable ROV of choice for domestic and foreign militaries with more than 1500 systems delivered. Teledyne Oceanscience’s Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are used for survey and inspection purposes worldwide, and Teledyne Gavia, the producer of the Gavia market-leading low logistics modular AUV and newly released SeaRaptor deepwater rated AUV complete the industry leading group, which provides unmanned vehicle platforms for operation from the surface of the water to the deep sea.

Teledyne Marine offers an array of COTS products and technologies suited to SAR applications. From subcomponent level products to fully integrated vehicle systems, Teledyne Marine manufactures a family of systems uniquely suited to various parts of the mission.

Teledyne Marine subcomponents are widely used by leading manufacturers and include market leading sonars with data management and presentation tools, navigation systems (IMU’s, DVL’s, LBL / USBL), ADCP’s, camera systems, interconnect and hull penetrators, and acoustic modems and releases.
With technologies divided into 5 core segments; Imaging, Instruments, Interconnect, Seismic and Vehicles, Teledyne Marine sales staff can address not only brand level solutions, but turn-key, customized systems that leverage our full range of technology. Our goal is to provide one-stop purchasing capability, world-wide customer support, and the technical expertise to solve your toughest challenges.

Use of AUV in shallow water, return of experience and expectations.

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 11:20:26 GMT

Using AUV since 2014 for shallow water survey mainly in West Africa in some of the most difficult area; zero visibility up to 4.5Kts surface current, ... We perform all the type of survey required by O&G offshore construction (pre-lay, as-laid, as-build). Taking advantage of acquired experience , we are now having some expectation for the near future.

We will also show the use of BV5000 as used in Niger delta for metrology purpose.
