Teledyne Gavia News

Teledyne Webb Research's new version of its Autonomous Profiling Explorer (APEX®) makes a record 13,123 ft dive off Hawaii. APEX floats are based on a buoyancy engine and have been commercially available since founder Doug Webb started Webb Research in 1982. APEX floats descend to a programmed depth where they become neutrally buoyant and drift. After some interval, usually five to ten days, the buoyancy engine makes the float positively buoyant and it rises to the surface, where it transmits collected data such as temperature and salinity back to researchers via satellite communications.

EIVA is proud to announce that it has been appointed by Teledyne Gavia as their exclusive representative in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The Gavia AUV is a self contained survey solution with a low logistics footprint and capable of operations at depths of up to 1000m while carrying out a wide range of missions for military, commercial and scientific applications. The Gavia is a modular AUV featuring plug and play modules which can be user configured in the field by inserting the required module for the task at hand. Sensors can be upgraded as newer become available, or as mission requirements change. Additional capability modules can be added on at a later date.
