Background
32 • The Navy’s Hold-at-Risk ASW
strategy requires operation in
200 500
30 choke points, port areas, and open
220 x 330 km 50 ocean areas.
Notional Field
28 – Environments are harsh and
100 1000
2500 changing
26 – Required areas of coverage are
5000
5000 large
24 50
– Time frames of operational
effectiveness are long (weeks
22 to months)
50 x 175 km 5000
Notional – Desired effectiveness is high

Cumulative UW Glider Results
• 22 gliders built, 15 ordered
• 4 flying today: Hawaii, Washington Coast (1), Labrador
Sea** (2)
• 8 Four-, 7 Five-, and 6 Six-month missions
– April 05, SG022 & 023 finished 6+ month, ~600 dive,
3000+ km voyages - new record
• 2500 glider-days of operation
(~75% of total by all gliders)
• Over 32,500 kilometers traveled through water
• 9 lost at sea, 1 recovered (SG004)
