Application of Ocean Gliders
Persistent sampling with gliders in the Physical Battlespace leads to...
Predictive Physical Battlespace Awareness for decision superiority in the maritime domain
• Ocean currents – unmanned systems, mine/debris drift models, SAR
• SST – sound velocity profiles, acoustic propagation, beam attenuation
• Fronts and eddies & sonic layer depth – environmental exploitation
• Ocean optics – vertical and horizontal visibility, asset vulnerability
