TWR Slocum - Sentinel Glider

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
