Wave Glider

Wave Glider is a new generation of autonomous ocean unmanned platform, which consists of two components, the surface floating body and the underwater sailing wing, connected by 4.5m umbili-cal cable. 
It has the characteristic of long mission durations that can be deployed in water all year round with the use of clean energy such as wave energy and solar energy to provide navigational power and maintain the operation of its own electrical system, commu-nication system and servo system. The platform is based on Beidou satellite system to achieve the construction of communication data chain to ensure the security of data collection. 
Users can use a variety of marine sensors and moni-toring equipment for different applications. This makes the wave glider a mobile, flexible, multi-infor-mation sensor integrated marine unmanned moni-toring platform. 
In the process of autonomous navigation, it achieves the objectives of basic marine data collec-tion, marine underwater target tracking, and marine resource investigation. The platform has good con-cealment and can be used for tasks such as secret investigation, defense of island reefs, and maritime security.
