Teledyne Gavia expanded its Engineering and Production facilities in Kopavogur, Iceland, in response to the increased demand for both the low logistics Gavia class systems and larger the Osprey and SeaRaptor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs).
Teledyne Gavia has more than doubled the size of its manufacturing facility and increased its staff in engineering, manufacturing and support roles. These enhancements will bolster operations both at the Gavia facilities in Iceland and for support positions servicing the North American market in North Falmouth, Massachusetts.
Teledyne Gavia has manufactured the Gavia 1000m rated AUV since 2003. In 2018, the company added the SeaRaptor 6000m AUV to its fleet. By 2022, Teledyne Gavia released the Osprey 2000m rated AUV and is currently working on an air deployed Gavia variant expected to launch in late 2024. The company has also enhanced the low-logistics Gavia AUV by incorporating high-capability imaging sensors such as the Teledyne RESON T20 multibeam and the Kraken MINSAS sonars. This diversified fleet allows users to explore deeper waters globally, covering greater distances in a shorter timeframe.
