AI turns sea gliders into the surveillance satellites of the sea | The Fathom sea glider can be mass produced by the hundreds
The seas of tomorrow may see underwater security fundamentally transformed as AI collides with autonomous undersea gliders to produce intelligent fleets of mobile sensors that could redefine naval intelligence as they seek out ocean threats.
Perhaps not nearly to the same extent, but as a way to better protect vital assets like undersea communications and power cables, pipelines, and oil sites, as well as monitoring potential threats and tracking the ever-increasing maritime traffic of the world's sea lanes. The other half of the team is the SG-1 Fathom, which is an autonomous underwater glider that is capable of operating independently of human control as it executes pre-planned missions to serve as a mobile sensor platform feeding data to Lura. As a sea glider, Fathom propels itself by rising close to the surface using changes in water buoyancy, then uses foils to move itself forward and steer in the desired direction as it sinks silently and stealthily back into the depths.
