Teledyne Gavia expands engineering and production facilities in Iceland

Teledyne Gavia​ has a long-standing history of innovation in AUV technology, having manufactured the Gavia 1000m rated AUV since 2003. In 2018, the company added the SeaRaptor 6000m AUV to its fleet. By 2022, Teledyne Gavia released the Osprey 2000m rated AUV and is currently working on an air deployed Gavia variant expected to launch in late 2024. The company has also enhanced the low-logistics Gavia AUV by incorporating high-capability imaging sensors such as the Teledyne RESON T20 multibeam and the Kraken MINSAS sonars. This diversified fleet allows users to explore deeper waters globally, covering greater distances in a shorter timeframe.

Stefan Reynisson, Vice President and General Manager of Teledyne Gavia, stated, “Teledyne Gavia is pleased to be able to respond to customer requests for added capacity and capabilities and shorter lead times. The response to a diversified product line and additional sensors has been very positive. The goal is to meet the ever-changing needs of Teledyne Gavia’s customers.”

Teledyne Gavia continues to benefit from its strategic location in Kopavogur, Iceland. The facility offers convenient access for in-water testing and easy access to the harbor, supporting Teledyne’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in subsea technology.
