| Definition | A long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) based on buoyancy. It is used for remote water column sampling. It uses hydraulic buoyancy change to alter the vehicle density in relation to the surrounding water thereby causing the vehicle to either float or sink. Given an appropriate dive or climb angle, the wings and body lift and convert some of this vertical motion into a forward saw tooth horizontal motion. Periodically, the glider surfaces and calls via Iridium Satellite Phone (anywhere in world) or Free Wave RF Modem (line of sight) in to landstation name GLIMPS 0auto attendant computer) to relay navigational fix, data and receive further instructions for command and control. The glider is capable of storm sampling and can be flown in a coordinated fleet. It is about 2 m in length (+0.8 m foldable antenna), has a hull diameter of about 23 cm and mass of 60 kg in the air. Wing span 65 cm. Ballast 1000 cc, 20 to 1000 m depth range of operation. Rechargeable battery. It transmits via RF modem, Iridium (RUDICS), ARGOS or acoustic modem. | ||
