Founded in Iceland in 1999, the Gavia program was started as a joint development with the University of Iceland. First sales of the Gavia vehicle occurred in 2000 to domestic customers in Iceland. In 2007 Hafmynd received the prestigious Icelandic Innovation Award from The Icelandic Centre for Research (Rannís) and the Trade Council of Iceland. Teledyne Gavia, a proud member of the Teledyne Technologies family since 2012, is part of a $5 billion global leader in industrial growth markets.
Teledyne Gavia has established itself as a market leader in the production of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), including the Gavia, Osprey, and SeaRaptor class AUVs, which are deployed in military, commercial, and scientific applications worldwide.
Teledyne Gavia is deeply attuned to the operational demands of military and security users.
