Teledyne Webb Research Joining Benthos in a dramatically expanded North Falmouth facility in later 2013, Teledyne Webb Research has been serv- ing oceanographic research, commercial, and government customers for more than 30 years. Webb Research designs and manufactures scientiÞ c instruments for oceanographic re-search and monitoring with a focus on extended observations over both time and space. Teledyne Webb Research special- izes in three areas of ocean instrumentation: Neutrally buoy- ant, autonomous drifters and proÞ lers, autonomous underwater gliding vehicles, and moored underwater sound sources. These systems are core to several major ocean monitoring programs including the international Argo array, the National Science Foundation Ocean Observatories Initiative and the US Navy Littoral Battlespace Sensing Ð Glider (LBS-G) program of re-cord. A Webb Research slocum glider, the Scarlet Knight, was the Þ rst unmanned vehicle to cross an ocean. Teledyne Gavia Located in K?pavogur, Iceland, Teledyne Gavia provides turn- key survey solutions to customers undertaking a variety of tasks for defense, commercial and scientiÞ c applications. The Gavia Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) can carry an array of sensors and custom payload modules that make it well suited for any research, monitoring or surveillance task where autonomy, cost and ease of deployment matters. Its modular design allows for rapid sensor reconÞ guration and battery re- placement. While compact and Òlow logisticsÓ the Gavia is also extremely capable, rated to 1000 meters depth and proven with a variety of sensor systems. As an Icelandic technology and compatible with sensors from other international sources, the Gavia AUV is widely export- able and the chosen low logistics AUV of commercial survey Þ rms operating around the world.
