Scientists from NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) have begun a second year of data collection for the Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) in Hawai‘i with support of Wave Gliders. Similar to the 2023 mission, three Wave Gliders are circumnavigating the main Hawaiian Islands between one to four miles from shore while measuring surface and subsurface information on important ocean and atmospheric parameters. All Wave Gliders are equipped with winches to enable chlorophyll-a data collection in depths of 150 m, approx. 5-10 times per day. “Our goal is to assess and understand changes in ocean conditions and the associated influence to marine ecosystem health in Hawaiʻi,” said Dr. Jamison Gove, an oceanographer with PIFSC and lead of the Hawai‘i IEA. “Our previous surveys in 2023 revealed both hotspots and lowspots in ocean productivity near each of the main Hawaiian Islands. The repeated Wave Glider surveys this fall and next summer will help determine whether those ocean features are persistent and identify the underlying mechanisms that drive them,” added Dr. Gove.

🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸 We are grateful for the support of the U.S. White House and the Indian Prime Minister's Office, announcing our teaming agreement with India-based Sagar Defence Engineering to co-develop and co-produce scaled Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) systems. This newly formed defense industrial partnership supports the U.S.-India Defense Industrial Cooperation Roadmap and will strengthen Undersea Domain Awareness (UDA) and Maritime Security for India, the United States, and Global Partners. “The Wave Glider is an ideal system for fostering collaboration between the U.S. and Indian governments and strengthening tactical readiness in the Indo-Pacific. Teaming up with Sagar Defence marks a new era for our bilateral defense cooperation and enables us to grow our existing Wave Glider operations in India. We are very pleased to join forces with the skilled team at Sagar, who have a proven record of successfully integrating uncrewed systems into active defense missions“, said Shane Goodenough, CEO of Liquid Robotics.

Next week, top defense leaders from the U.S. and India are coming together in Silicon Valley for the third INDUS-X Summit. Liquid Robotics is honored to be at the table to advance defense innovations, solidify public-private partnerships, and expand its current efforts in supporting India’s maritime security with Uncrewed Surface Vehicles. INDUS-X, the India-U.S. Defense Acceleration Ecosystem, was initiated by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Indian Ministry of Defence last summer. https://lnkd.in/gEWH6w5X #INDUSX #INDUSXSummit #USV #autonomy #maritimesecurity

This Scripps Institution of Oceanography Wave Glider just got deployed in beautiful Seward, #Alaska. Over the next three months, the Wave Glider will acoustically offload data from six seafloor-mounted Sonardyne International Ltd Fetch responders located off the Aleutian Islands and combine this data with high-precision GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) location information. The survey captures the movement of tectonic plates and thereby informs the development of more accurate earthquake and tsunami forecasts. 📸 Credit: Glenn Sasagawa #oceanscience #seafloorgeodesy #acoustics #GNSS #USV #WaveGlider

🇺🇸 🚀 Go #Starliner! What a goosebump moment to see Boeing Starliner take off on its first Crew Flight Test (CFT) with astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore aboard. We can’t wait to follow your journey to the International Space Station and back home. Congratulations to our fellow colleagues at #teamboeing and to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and United Launch Alliance (ULA) for this tremendous achievement.
Take a closer look at #Starliner's NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Commercial Crew launch earlier today atop a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket. Starliner is now on its way to the International Space Station with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on board. Soon the spacecraft will dock, the hatches will open, and the International Space Station crew will welcome them to their home on orbit. Stay tuned for more updates from the #CFT mission.

With its strong towing capability, the Wave Glider can be equipped with sensors and payloads deployed in a tow body to collect data subsurface. The undulating tow cable serves as a buffer to ensure a smooth and stable ride for the payload. Passive acoustic sensors are commonly towed from Wave Gliders providing persistent, real-time, low ambient noise acoustic data for applications such as Maritime Domain Awareness, marine mammal tracking, ecosystem assessments, and more. #acoustics #MDA #oceanscience #tracking #USV #WaveGlider #teamboeing
