To operate the flyout wirelessly,
JW Fishers Mfg
JW Fishers Mfg. was founded by the late Jack Fisher in the 1960’s. Handheld underwater metal detectors were the basis of foundation for the brand, but quickly advanced into a full array of underwater search equipment. Today the extensive line of product includes hand-held and boat-towed metal detectors, magnetometers, underwater HD video systems, ROVs, sonar systems, acoustic pingers & receivers, pipe & cable trackers, a sub bottom profiler system and the Pulse 8X underwater metal detector recognized #1 by US Homeland Security.
JW Fishers once again has raised the bar in 2023 by introducing the SeaLion-3 ROV with 2x as many thrusters for horizontal movement, and is twice as powerful as its predecessor. The four vectored thrusters allow horizontal motion in any direction, and the ability to rotate-in-place. Vertical power is also increased, with three thrusters for diving and lifting. The unique vertical thruster placement also provides the ability to adjust pitch and trim of the ROV. The SeaLion-3 is depth rated to 1000 ft. with the option of up to 1500 ft. of tether. The SeaLion-3 has two full HD video cameras and recording capability. The new topside console has two monitors for viewing and controlling the ROV. The top monitor is a large 15-in. screen for viewing the 1080p videos from either camera, or both using the picture-in-picture. Sensor readings and navigation information can also be displayed on either screen.

Teledyne Webb Research (TWR)
The Slocum glider produced by Teledyne Webb Research (TWR) is the genesis of all present ocean gliders. Slocum gliders carry the largest number and greatest variety of payloads of any glider AUV. The Slocum glider is designed to be a sensor platform with a dry modular center payload bay. Wetted bays in the bow and stern provide more opportunities for sensor loading. This modularity along with the energy efficient buoyancy propulsion system provides the Slocum with a most flexible system for integrating sensors for optimal ocean observation.
The Slocum glider is buoyancy driven to enable long range and duration remote water column observation for academic, military, and commercial applications. The Slocum Glider can be deployed and recovered from any size vessel with minimal time on station.
Once the Slocum glider is deployed, it can easily be controlled from anywhere in the world through the use of web based piloting tools. This allows fleets of gliders to be operated remotely with minimal personnel and infrastructure.
Slocum gliders are modular, allowing for rapid sensor reconfiguration to respond to emergency conditions or situations. Over 40 sensors and other options are available to address a wide variety of ocean conditions and sampling requirements.

Greensea IQ
Greensea IQ completed a demonstration of a prototype Autonomous EOD Maritime Response Vehicle (AEMRV) for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and US Navy. Using the advanced capabilities of OPENSEA Edge, the system provides the computing resources needed to power edge perception systems and advanced autonomous behaviors of EOD Workspace, allowing human-on-the-loop autonomy and untethered command and control over the ROV platform. The demonstration took place over several days in the open ocean off the coast of San Diego, featuring a fully integrated OPENSEA Edge-driven untethered ROV, a VideoRay MSS Defender modified by Greensea IQ to include batteries and an acoustic modem. During the demonstration real world tasks were demonstrated by autonomously searching the environment for threats utilizing acoustic communications.
This demonstration highlighted the autonomy system for EOD Workspace, Greensea IQ's robot agnostic software platform for Mine Countermeasure (MCM) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations. It also showcased Safe C2, Greensea IQ's communication platform for long-range standoff command and control of autonomous ocean robots, both integrated within the OPENSEA Edge modular, hardware-agnostic system.
