Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Systems Center Pacific engineers (left to right) Daniel Braun, Eric Sanchez and David Barney perform pre-deployment inspections on Littoral Battlespace Sensing gliders aboard USNS Pathfinder. The gliders will be deployed during a two-week at-sea test aboard the oceanographic survey ship. Each glider hosts a payload suite of sensors that will measure the physical characteristics of the water column as the glider routinely descends and ascends in the ocean. The gliders used for this at-sea test are heavily customized and can process and send ocean condition data in real time to aid mission planners in making decisions.
