The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what platforms provided by Teledyne Marine are a) currently in use and b) planned to be introduced.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Teledyne Marine will supply numerous autonomous ocean observing systems, including Sentinel and Slocum gliders (a sensor to gather relevant environmental data for military exploitation), APEX floats (which can take subsurface measurements), and associated services, enabling the Royal Navy to expand its fleet of advanced uncrewed technologies.

These capabilities will support operational planning, maritime safety, and Defence activities, directly supporting Atlantic Bastion.
