Slocum glider demo in Iceland
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
