While performing underwater observation and detection, the underwater acoustic glider needs to finish the current profile glide to float to the surface for information exchange and thus fails to realize real-time data information return. In this paper, a detection and communication system for underwater acoustic gliders was proposed. The underwater acoustic communication technology was used to send the data information detected by the underwater acoustic glider to the wave glider. As a communication relay, the wave glider can transparently forward the data to the shore-based center, so as to realize the approximate real-time detection and communication data transmission. This paper introduced the structure, composition, and information transmission link of the detection and communication system for underwater acoustic gliders, emphatically discussed;the detection and communication test of underwater acoustic gliders in sea areas near Qingdao, and analyzed the test data. The test verifies the correctness and f
