ALSEAMAR designs, manufactures and operates autonomous, high-endurance subsea drones: the SeaExplorer gliders.
Designed to collect data over large areas (thousands of kilometers), over long periods (months) and at great depths (up to 1,000 m), SeaExplorer gliders are propelled by buoyancy variation. SeaExplorer vehicles silently glide along the water column, collecting physical, chemical, biological and/or acoustic data, depending on the sensors installed. Their major added value lies in their low procurement and operating costs compared to the vessels or other means traditionally used for the same type of mission.
SeaExplorer gliders are easy to operate and can be deployed and recovered by a smaller crew, using small boats in coastal waters. Remotely controlled via satellite communication, they receive orders from the control PC at an ALSEAMAR site or at another designated site and transmit navigation information and collected data to land.
SeaExplorers are used by scientists and oceanographers, by environmental agencies responsible for protecting seas and oceans, by operators in the oil sector and by navies.
ALSEAMAR operates Gliders for its clients on a 24/7 basis and in every sea of the world.
