Littoral Battlespace Sensing-Glider (LBS-G)

The Littoral Battlespace Sensing-Glider (LBS-G) is a U.S. Navy program to acquire ocean gliders based on Slocum Glider technology (see separate record). The Navy uses the deep and shallow water gliders to gather oceanographic data to improve the positioning of fleets during naval maneuvers.

Specifically, the system provides data on ocean volume properties that influence sound propagation and acoustic weapon and sensor performance predictions within a particular area. The...
