French Navy orders five underwater gliders from Alseamar

The French Navy has placed an order for five SEAEXPLORER 1000-M gliders from the local company Alseamar.

These gliders will incorporate a payload equipped with the AURIS solution developed by Alseamar for acoustic surveillance of the underwater environment.

Powered by AI, this solution enables real-time embedded acquisition and processing of acoustic data. The data is encrypted to ensure its security.

The network deployment of SEAEXPLORER 1000-M gliders enables them to be used on a large scale, multiplying the efficiency of the system and the quality of the information transmitted to the naval force.

According to the company, SEAEXPLORER 1000-M gliders will strengthen the French Navy’s underwater acoustic surveillance capabilities.

This is the first sale of the SEAEXPLORER 1000-M system, unveiled at EURONAVAL 2024. Commercial discussions are already underway for export sales, indicating further opportunities for military gliders.

To remind, France recently signed a framework agreement with Airbus for the future acquisition of the uncrewed aerial systems for the navy.
