Unmanned underwater vehicles are capable of recording conditions and terrain below sea ice, as the risk of sending an unmanned vehicle into unstable ice formations is much lower than that of a manned vessel. Glider type unmanned vehicles are often used to measure ocean temperatures and current strengths at various depths.
Echo Voyager is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) built by Boeing.. Design work on Echo Voyager began at Boeing Phantom Works in 2011 with the goal of improving upon earlier AUV designs that required a crewed support ship due to an endurance of only a few days and a range of several hundred miles.
