Royal Navy Tests Autonomous Underwater Survey System in Clyde Estuary
A Royal Navy team from Plymouth has tested the Teledyne GAVIA autonomous underwater system in the Clyde Estuary, successfully locating objects including a starfish and a boot. Plymouth has been designated the national center for marine autonomy, attracting investments and facilitating collaboration in marine technology. The Hydrographic eXploitation Group's Team 2, involved in the exercise, aims to enhance skills for deep-water missions and improve acoustic communication for positional accuracy.

The Royal Navy team from Plymouth tested the Teledyne GAVIA autonomous underwater system in the Clyde Estuary, locating items like a starfish and a Wellington boot. Plymouth is designated the national center for marine autonomy, fostering investment and collaboration in this sector.
The Hydrographic eXploitation Group's Team 2, which has been training with the system for six months, supported deep-water missions to enhance the use of acoustic communications for accurate positioning. The team successfully conducted surveys despite challenging weather, demonstrating the GAVIA's capabilities in seabed exploration.
