Abstract
This paper presents the capabilities developed for Slocum gliders to enable safe operation and data collection beneath polar ice during prolonged missions. Key capabilities include surface ice detection, GPS-denied navigation using low-frequency sound sources, and contingency behaviours executed in response to unexpected events beneath sea ice. These capabilities are supported by a backseat driver control system which is developed for Slocum gliders for advanced missions. Field trials are being planned before the actual deployment of the system in Antarctica.
