BENEFITS
Transforming Ocean Access through Advanced Technology
Uncrewed solutions deliver a cost-effective alternative to crewed ships while simultaneously de-risking projects and reducing your project's carbon footprint.
Saildrone USVs are equipped with cutting-edge scientific sensors and cameras to gather essential data for offshore wind farms. This includes high-resolution ocean mapping, metocean data, persistent ecosystem monitoring, and the implementation of maritime security.
Together with optical cameras and proprietary machine-learning models, the Saildrone platform delivers real-time, 24/7 visual detection of maritime activity in the vicinity of protected assets, including identifying vessels and visiting sea life.
Quiet Platform
Saildrone USVs are predominantly driven by wind and solar energy, ensuring nearly silent operation. The reduced noise signature is significantly less disruptive to marine life when compared to traditional survey vessels, while still consistently delivering top-notch data quality.
Leading Industry Sensors
Saildrone vehicles are equipped with cutting-edge payloads and advanced sensor packages. This consists of top-of-the-line, commercially validated echo sounders, and meteorological and oceanographic sensors. Additionally, Saildrone has developed a proprietary hydrophone array, providing unrivaled acoustic capabilities for protected species monitoring.
Mulitple Mission Objective
Saildrone USVs are capable of performing missions with multiple objectives simultaneously—ocean mapping, metocean data, and maritime security situational awareness. This mission flexibility provides offshore wind projects with an economical and efficient life-cycle solution.
Data Quality
Coupled with the long-endurance and low environmental impact operations, Saildrone’s nearly silent USVs minimize interference with acoustic sensors, yielding high-quality data. These vehicles can gather high-resolution data for offshore energy projects 24/7 to meet the most stringent specifications and data standards.

“
With a zero operational carbon footprint, no impact to the marine ecosystem, a diverse payload, and the ability to stay at sea for extended lengths of time, Saildrone is ideally suited to provide never-before-collected information about offshore bat migration patterns. This important information will allow us to understand and minimize the potential impacts of offshore wind energy development on bat populations.”
“
Saildrone and RPS are working together to provide a unique, flexible, and adaptable solution to marine mammal monitoring of large areas over significant time periods, using smart tools to reduce personnel in the field but without decreasing the monitoring and mitigation provided to protect our marine animal neighbors.”
