Rhea-AI Summary
Teledyne Marine announced significant achievements, including the production and shipment of its 10,000th Advanced Profiling Explorer (APEX) profiling float and 1,000th Slocum Glider. These devices enhance oceanographic research by collecting vital data over extended periods. Additionally, the company unveiled its new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), the Gavia Osprey, designed for deep water and long missions. Celebrated at their Massachusetts facility, these milestones reflect Teledyne's commitment to innovation and ocean monitoring technology.
Positive
Successful production of the 10,000th APEX profiling float enhances oceanographic research.
The 1,000th Slocum Glider signifies two decades of contribution to ocean monitoring.
Launch of the Gavia Osprey AUV expands capabilities in deep water surveying and defense applications.
Negative
None.
NORTH FALMOUTH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Teledyne Marine, a business of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), announced today three major milestones for the organization.
This year, Teledyne Webb Research will produce and ship its 10,000 Advanced Profiling Explorer (APEX) profiling float. APEX floats, which have been in production since the 1990s, have been deployed around the globe to autonomously collect a variety of oceanographic data throughout the water column over an extended period of time. This data has contributed greatly to our understanding of ocean processes which drive ocean currents, weather, and ultimately contribute to our understanding of climate change through global programs like international Argo.
Teledyne Webb Research is also celebrating the production of its 1,000 Slocum Glider. The Slocum Glider, named after Joshua Slocum, the first person to sail solo around the world from 1895 through 1898, is an autonomous vehicle that employs variable-buoyancy propulsion instead of traditional propellers to collect long duration, large scale ocean measurements. Slocum gliders have been successfully providing the academic, commercial and defense communities with ocean monitoring and characterization for over two decades. These gliders help us understand the ocean world through measurements of temperature, pressure, salinity, oxygen levels, carbon dioxide levels, ocean acidification, marine life and many other parameters.
In addition to these production milestones, Teledyne has achieved yet another milestone with the successful completion and demonstration of its latest Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), the Teledyne Gavia Osprey. The Osprey is Teledyne’s new medium-sized (324 mm diameter hull) AUV, which is built for longer endurance missions (greater than 24 hours), deeper operations (up to 2,000 m), and more sophisticated payloads to serve commercial and defense markets for deep water survey inspection and defense applications. The Osprey joins the Teledyne family of AUVs including the 200 mm diameter Gavia and the 630 mm Sea Raptor.
Teledyne recently celebrated these major milestones with an event at its North Falmouth, Massachusetts vehicle manufacturing facility by honoring the founder of Teledyne Webb Research, Doug Webb, whose innovation and drive led to the creation of the buoyancy driven systems which have enabled many of these great achievements.
About Teledyne Webb Research
Teledyne Webb Research designs and manufactures scientific instruments for oceanographic research and monitoring with a focus on extended observations over both time and space. Teledyne Webb Research specializes in three areas of ocean instrumentation: neutrally buoyant, autonomous drifters and profilers, autonomous underwater gliding vehicles, and moored underwater sound sources. These systems are core to several major ocean monitoring programs including the international Argo array, the National Science Foundation Ocean Observatories Initiative and the U.S. Navy Littoral Battlespace Sensing-Glider (LBS-G) program of record. A Teledyne Webb Research Slocum glider, the Scarlet Knight, was the first unmanned vehicle to cross an ocean. To learn more, visit http://www.teledynemarine.com/webb-research/.
