Are you with Teledyne Gavia?
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles for military, commercial, and scientific applications
Teledyne Gavia manufactures three classes of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs): Gavia, Osprey, and SeaRaptor. The SeaRaptor is a survey-grade deep-water AUV rated to 3,000m or 6,000m depth, designed to carry broad sensor arrays for abyssal survey and mapping. The Osprey bridges the gap between man-portable Gavia and larger systems. Products serve military mine countermeasures, commercial subsea survey, and scientific research globally. The company operates a 1,500 sq meter manufacturing facility in Kópavogur, Iceland with integrated R&D and sea trial capabilities.
