Wave Glider SV5: Enhanced Capabilities and Specific Use Cases

The Wave Glider SV5 expands the range of persistent, uncrewed maritime missions with enhanced solar power collection and storage, sustaining high-power payloads in extreme environments. At over five meters in length, the Wave Glider SV5 also offers additional capacity for payloads and complex configurations. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ9-Z0kx9NL/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== ○ Rewritten with Detailed Examples The Wave Glider SV5, developed by Liquid Robotics (a Boeing subsidiary), is a cutting-edge uncrewed marine platform that leverages solar and wave energy for long-duration, autonomous operations. With upgraded solar panels and energy storage systems compared to the SV3 model, the SV5 delivers reliable high-power output, supporting a wide range of payloads in extreme marine environments, such as high waves, corrosive saltwater, or extreme temperatures. Measuring over five meters in length, it provides ample space for diverse payloads and complex configurations, making it i...

Need another reason to celebrate 75 years of @nsfgov. Introduction of OOI

Need another reason to celebrate 75 years of @nsfgov? How about the @oceanobservatories_initiative, a network of 900+ offshore instruments that deliver real-time data for ocean monitoring, resource management, and hazard preparedness from the Gulf of Alaska to the North Atlantic.⁠ ⁠ Managed by #WHOI and #NSFfunded, OOI demonstrates how federal investment in ocean infrastructure enables US leadership in science and innovation!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #NSF75 #ScienceMatters #OceanInnovation
