The XRay glider employs a high lift-to-drag ratio wing design allowing it to travel long distances efficiently, to travel at higher speeds than existing oceanographic profling gliders (e.g., Seaglider, Slocum and Spray), and to carry tactically relevant sensors. These attributes make XRay suitable for surveillance and other remote sensing applications of interest to the U.S. Navy. In July–September 2006, the XRay glider participated in its first at-sea test experiments in Monterey Bay. Principal Engineer Jim Luby briefs the media after the experiments in Monterey Bay. Read the coverage of the tests from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Pete Brodsky performs software diagnostics during at-sea testing.
