As the Seaglider dives and ascends its wings cause it to glide, allowing horizontal movement. Internal sensors monitor the depth, heading and attitude of the vehicle. External sensors are constantly scanning the ocean to determine water properties. Click on one of the images below to see the Seaglider in motion. The animation is a 3D simulation of how the Seaglider maneuvers. Cut-away views of the internal mechanics show how the Seaglider pitches, rolls, dives, ascends, and surfaces.

Cut-away views of Seaglider display internal components. Seaglider begins surfacing maneuver. The Seaglider's antenna rises above the surface of the ocean to communicate with satellites. Satellites communicate with Seaglider to send or retrieve data and obtain GPS position.
