Maritime Domain Awareness

10 Saildrone Voyager USVs were deployed from Key West, a critical first step in the 4th Fleet’s Operation Windward Stack.

Saildrone is using a specially built camera system and advanced acoustic technology combined with machine learning to identify activity at sea.

Week 1: A fleet of six saildrones was launched from Honolulu to demonstrate how artificial intelligence and machine learning could be used to support the US Coast Guard mission.

Week 3: We spoke to USCG Commander D. Blair Sweigart about the Coast Guard’s mission, how autonomy could improve mission performance, and Saildrone’s demonstration of MDA capabilities in Hawaii.

Tom Alexander will lead Saildrone’s new Washington, DC office, working to promote autonomous solutions for science, mapping, and homeland and national security.

The new Saildrone Surveyor is the world’s most advanced uncrewed surface vehicle, equipped with an array of acoustic instruments for high-resolution shallow and deep-water mapping.

The 33-foot Saildrone Voyager is designed for near-shore bathymetry and maritime security missions.

The Albert A. Michelson Award, presented at Sea Air Space 2022 by the Navy League of the United States, recognizes outstanding achievement by industry innovators and leaders.

Led by BOND, the new financing will be used to grow Saildrone’s data insight teams and scale go-to-market functions for ocean domain intelligence.

The need for renewable energy sources is at an all-time high. Saildrone’s low-carbon, wind-powered ocean drones can help make new offshore wind farms a reality.
