Lockheed Martin has a long history as the world’s leading supplier of expendable oceanographic probes and the associated recorders, launchers and related equipment. Oceanographic and research institutions, offshore oil and gas facilities, and naval agencies around the world use more than twenty (20) variants of Lockheed Martin oceanographic probes to measure temperature, salinity, ocean currents, or speed of sound in relation to depth. Most of these probes have an air, surface and/or submarine launch variant. To date, approximately six (6) million disposable oceanographic probes have been delivered, with 80,000 to 100,000 probes being delivered annually.
