Low-cost Marine Environmental Monitoring Solution
ABM Tech and our product ECHO glider is bridging the gap in the scientific knowledge, the ecological impact and the rules and regulations to address the issues of lengthy Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) timelines and high survey costs for the offshore wind farms.
Our unique buoyancy engine technology improves the manoeuvrability, stability, and energy efficiency of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
ECHO
High-speed, highly manoeuvrable, and low-noise autonomous underwater glider
Engineered to operate reliably in shallow and harsh marine environments, it enables long-term, near-real-time collection of high-quality ocean environmental data with minimal human intervention and without the need for constant support from a mother ship.
AI-driven control system.
Reduces associated costs
Powering Progress Beneath the Surface
Our advanced underwater technologies are built to meet the demanding needs of today’s ocean innovators. Whether you’re an offshore wind farm developer, a marine environmental consultancy, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) manufacturer, or a leading marine research institution, our solutions offer the precision, adaptability, and intelligence required for success in complex marine environments.

Accelerate Environmental Impact Assessments.
The Large-capacity, Low-noise, and High-efficiency (LLH) buoyancy engine enables more than 7× amplification of drive capacity within a compact form factor. It is designed for easy integration into AUVs, allowing for precise ballast control to enhance dynamic performance and energy efficiency.
Rapid Mobility
Engineered for speed and agility, the ECHO Glider reaches up to 1.6 m/s and adjusts ballast at a rate of 350 cc/s. This allows quick manoeuvring in strong currents and shallow waters, expanding deployment capabilities.
Quiet Monitoring
With up to 50% noise reduction, the ECHO Glider ensures cleaner acoustic data. Ideal for sensitive underwater monitoring, it delivers superior audio clarity for research, exploration, or surveillance tasks.
Smart Autonomy
Powered by machine learning, the ECHO Glider makes intelligent, real-time decisions with minimal human input. Its advanced biomimetic design improves hydrodynamics, maximising efficiency and mission duration.
