Brief Description: Developing a hydrodynamically efficient hull for our ECHO glider, designed for marine passive acoustic monitoring near offshore renewable systems in 20-200m depths. The glider will feature high-speed cruising and underwater flipping to navigate strong currents around offshore farms. It will support environmental assessments and continuous monitoring, expediting consenting processes and improving operational efficiency for offshore renewables.
