Slocum Glider Deploys from Zero USV

This video captures the deployment of a Teledyne Marine Slocum Glider from a Zero USV uncrewed surface vessel, demonstrating a modern, fully uncrewed approach to ocean data collection.

 

Launching a long‑endurance underwater glider from an autonomous surface platform highlights how integrated uncrewed systems can support persistent maritime operations while reducing reliance on crewed vessels. Once deployed, the Slocum Glider begins its mission to autonomously collect high‑quality oceanographic and environmental data beneath the surface.

 

This system‑of‑systems capability opens new possibilities for distributed sensing, long‑duration monitoring, and remote operations across defense, ocean science, and commercial applications.
