We specialize in:

Underwater gliders

An underwater glider is a highly efficient AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) which utilizes small changes in buoyancy & attitude to achieve forward motion to cover long distances.

Manufactured by Kongsberg Underwater Technology, Inc. (Lynwood, WA), Seagliders are one of the most advanced oceanographic observing tools on the market & is available in three versions:

Seaglider C2 – Max depth: 200 m
Seaglider M1 – Max depth: 1000 m
Seaglider M6 – Max depth: 6000 m

CSCS staff have been operating Seagliders for over ten years in different seas of the world, under many different weather and sea conditions. We offer several after-sale services such as mission planning, launch/recovery, piloting, maintenance, training, data management, analysis and reporting as well as rental and purchase of Seagliders.

ASVs, AUVs & ROVs

CSCS offers a variety of AUV and ROV survey, inspection and related services through our network of manufacturers and professional operators such as Kongsberg, Seatronics, OceanScan, and Hydromea.

We currently own and operate a Blue Robotics BlueROV2 Heavy rated to an operating depth of 300 meters. It is ready to conduct inspection-class and research-class missions, test sensors and monitor subsea environments.

We also carry out joint work with manufacturers of surface vehicles, such as Offshore Sensing AS SailBuoy, Maritime Robotics Waveglider and H2O Robotics Floats and drifters.

Floats & Drifters

CSCS is the official representative for MetOcean in Cyprus and Greece. We also support other countries in the region with sales, training and data services. MetOcean produces profiling floats for passive acoustics and water properties and near-surface drifting systems for measuring currents and water properties for oceanographic studies, search and rescue and oil spill drift tracking.

CSCS is also an authorized distributor in Europe for MRV Systems who produce profiling floats meeting the Argo specification (standard and deep), as well as biogeochemical model.

Moorings, moored buoys & bottom-mounted platforms

CSCS designs and builds custom observing platforms for any ocean depth, including integrating sensors, designing power and communication systems, and configuring hardware mounting and installations. Applications include bottom-current monitoring, turbidity monitoring during drilling or dredging activity, passive acoustic monitoring, leak detection, and many more. Self-contained and on-line solutions are available. CSCS also provides standard or customized lander systems manufactured by our partner Kongsberg.

The following sensors in our inventory are available for rent:
