In a recent deployment off the coast of Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and JASCO Applied Sciences, successfully demonstrated the ability to detect and localize marine mammals using a fleet of Slocum autonomous underwater gliders. The gliders were deployed in Roseway Basin on the Scotian Shelf, a region recognized as a critical habitat for endangered and at-risk marine mammals. Two DFO gliders and one JASCO glider were equipped with JASCO’s OceanObserver™ directional Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) system.

JASCO Applied Sciences (JASCO), Blue Ocean Marine Tech Systems (BOMTS), Teledyne Marine (Teledyne) and WTD71 collaborated to experiment and demonstrate novel passive acoustic real-time monitoring capabilities from marine unmanned systems during the 14th edition of REPMUS.

JASCO Applied Sciences is pleased to announce that it has acquired Cryosphere Innovation, a New Hampshire based technology company that creates solutions for autonomously observing climate change in the Arctic.

JASCO Applied Sciences (Canada) Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has acquired the assets and intellectual property of Autonomous Marine Systems (AMS), Inc. from Signal Ventures Ltd., of the United Kingdom.

Özkan Sertlek, the 2024 recipient of the prestigious A B Wood medal, is a senior scientist with JASCO Applied Sciences based in the Netherlands. The medal is awarded by the Institute of Acoustics in alternate years to acousticians based in the UK/Europe (even years) and in the USA/Canada (odd years). The award is aimed at early career researchers, under 40 years of age, whose work is associated with the sea.

JASCO Applied Sciences (JASCO) and Blue Ocean Monitoring (BOM) have entered a global strategic partnership. This partnership combines JASCO’s understanding of underwater acoustics, and their OceanObserver™ high-performance passive acoustic data acquisition and processing system capable of on-board, in-situ signal processing, with BOM’s cutting-edge expertise developing and operating uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs).

The Atlantic Deepwater Ecosystem Observatory Network (ADEON) project received the 2023 National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) Excellence in Partnering Award. The award was presented at the 2024 Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
