Untethered robotic devices propelled through the water by self-contained power systems.Piloted by an onboard computer.Launched from the surface and are maneuverable in three dimensions.Propelled by self-contained power systems. Others use the difference in water layer temperatures to glide.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
instrument packages that measure temperature, salinity, pressure and currents.
Drifters
orbit the Earth and assist oceanographers with global observations of the ocean.
