Description
Product Features
Longest Endurance Glider on the Market With 23 kWh of power available, the Sentinel Glider can operate at sea for over 2 years
Largest buoyancy engine on the Market The 4 Liter (+/- 2 Liter) Buoyancy Engine of the Sentinel Glider offers greater flexibility in the speed of the glider and the diversity of operational areas
Integrated Thrusters Included on Every Sentinel Glider, these thrusters allow for burst speeds of up to 3.5 knots when facing strong currents or to shorten transit times
Wide-ranging Sensor Suite The Slocum Sentinel Glider accommodates the sensor and hardware options available for the Slocum G3s Glider – the most options available of any glider platform.
Operations with greater quantities and higher-energy hardware/sensors
Greater volume for additional batteries
Greater internal space available for sensors and other hardware
Multiple locations available for external hardware integrations
Up to 8 sensors can be operated simultaneously
Operations over greater distances and more diverse operational areas
Operations in areas with greater changes in density
Operations in areas with higher currents
Data gathering over larger operational areas
Faster boat-free transit to remote areas of operation
Operations for extended mission endurance
Energy available to execute missions in terms of years, not months
Energy available to operate several high-powered sensor / hardware options simultaneously
Less rationing of energy, more data gathering
Decreased operational cost of launch and recovery due to greater mission lengths
Trusted Capabilities of the Slocum Glider
Builds on the trusted technology and capabilities of the most-used glider vehicle in the world
Piloting, communications, and data visualization through the Slocum Fleet Mission Control (SFMC) software suite
Sensor, Hardware, and Software options available on the Slocum G3 Glider are also available on the Sentinel Glider
Decades of glider engineering and support experience from Teledyne Webb Research
