概述
Larger Wave Glider variant that harvests wave and solar energy for persistent unmanned ocean data collection, payload carriage, and real-time data delivery.
Wave Glider SV5 is a dual-use USV platform developed by Liquid Robotics in the United States. It is the larger current-generation Wave Glider variant, using a surface float, submerged glider, wave propulsion, solar charging, and remote mission control to collect and transmit ocean data over long-duration deployments. It is positioned for persistent ocean sensing, maritime domain awareness, environmental monitoring, communications relay, metocean data collection, and defense surveillance missions and is listed publicly as active. Published specifications captured in this database include a published length of over 5 m, reported water speed of 0.8-2.0 kt, and payload information covering up to 215 kg of payload, 525 W nominal solar collection, 15.7 kWh battery capacity, and multiple mast, float, sub, winch, and tow mounting options. The platform is described as autonomous / remote-supervised in terms of control and autonomy. Its concept emphasizes persistent unmanned presence, renewable-energy operation, real-time data delivery, and configurable sensor payloads for commercial, scientific, and defense users.
