Wave Glider SV6

Wave Glider SV6 is Liquid Robotics' largest wave- and solar-powered autonomous surface vehicle. Introduced in 2026, it measures 5.6 metres and provides 40 modular payload bays, a maximum payload of 450 kilograms, up to 30 kWh of energy storage and 900 watts of solar collection. Native 48-volt support enables larger, higher-power payload combinations for long-duration work at sea.

The platform uses the Wave Glider family's two-part architecture: a surface float supplies solar energy and communications, while a submerged glider converts wave motion into propulsion. SV6 supports deployments of up to 12 months and remains compatible with payloads and sensors developed for SV3 and SV5. Its expanded deck, power and carrying capacity suit multi-sensor ocean observation, offshore monitoring and persistent maritime-security missions that exceed the smaller models' envelopes.
