Zusammenfassung:The long term goal is to advance our understanding of thermal energy extraction from the ocean thermocline using an enhanced passive thermal propulsion system. Integration of this new propulsion technology in a low drag hydrodynamic shape is expected to yield undersea glider speeds in excess of 3 Knots (5 Knots may be achievable), and persistence measured in years.
