The Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography contracted with Legnos’ expertise in the field to develop the Stingray and X-ray Underwater Gliders Prototypes.
Other SBIR contracts for ONR include the development of the “Towed Array Control Module” to control the shape and buoyancy of a Sonar Array and the development of “the SK Glider”, an air deployable underwater glider for deployment from Navy P-3 Orion and P-8 Poseidon aircraft ISR missions and to gather important data for oceanographic research.
