1. TRANSFORMING META OCEAN DATA SERVICES
The first unmanned autonomous marine robot
to use only the ocean's endless supply of wave energy
for propulsion (no manpower, no emissions, no refueling).
Wave Glidertm

2. The Wave Glidertm employs a multi-patented design that allows
it to cost-effectively collect and transmit data gathered during
year long missions, over distances of thousands for miles, or
while holding station.
It enables game changing discoveries to help address the
biggest challenges we face, including global climate change,
national security, hurricane & tsunami warning, and offshore
energy & resource management.

“Among the Wave Glider’s features are the ability to use the
platform for more than just one application, the ability to
reconfigure the platform to meet scientific need, and the ability
for long-duration sensing that lends the platform to such a wide
variety of applications.” – Alan P. Leonardi, Ph.D, deputy-director, Atlantic
Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory

3. Applications:
• Air-sea interface monitoring of hurricanes
• Water quality monitoring
• Fish journey tracking and acoustic monitoring
• Research without reliance on expensive research ships
• Artic sea ice monitoring
• Earthquake and tsunami monitoring
• Marine Protected Area enforcement
Mobile Platform
• Travel to operational area, patrol and return autonomously
• Capture spatial and temporal dynamics
• Taskable for mission agility and avoidance
Persistent Surveillance
• 24/7 subsea--‐to--‐air communications in all weather
• Year--‐long missions without fuel, maintenance or risk to personnel
• Missions covering oceanic or littoral waters
Monitoring & Sensing Capabilities
• AIS ship transponder acquisition, awareness, and avoidance calculations
• Meteorological and oceanographic sensing
• Radio Frequency/Direction Finding (RF/DF)
• Electro-Optical/Infrared sensing and recording (day/night camera)
• Passive acoustic monitoring and classification of targets (long--‐range sound detection)

5. "Our world makes progress through the invention of simple, yet
game-changing technologies. Liquid Robotics is one of these
game-changers." - Dr. Marv Langston, former DoD deputy chief information
officer.
"I'm proud to be part of a project that gives us an
unprecedented tool for understanding and protecting the
world's marine environments, in ways that have never been
imagined." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., environmental advocate and attorney;
member of Liquid Robotics' strategic advisory board.
“These vehicles will provide us a steady stream of data about
water quality and should significantly increase the available
data for ongoing research activity.” - Mike Utsler, chief operating officer,
BP Gulf Coast Restoration Organization.
