Buoyancy Engines
The Slocum G2 glider is pressure rated to 1000 meters. The buoyancy engine is available in both a deep and shallow configuration. These are optimized for maximum efficiency based on the depth of operation. We are available to help determine what would be most efficient for your operations.
An exciting feature of the G2 design is that one vehicle can be configured for any of the available depth ranges by a simple replacement of the front end of the glider. This is easily field replaceable. For shallow gliders only, the ballast drive can also be easily replaced to change operational depth. This is an exonomical way to increase the mission capabilities of your glider. For the deep gliders, the forward section can be replaced with a shallow buoyancy engine.
