Saildrone Surveyor
WHAT SURVEYOR DELIVERS
Extreme-range Blue-water Autonomy for ISR, Mapping, and Kinetic Effects
A 20-meter unmanned surface vehicle built for global defense missions. Surveyor provides persistent maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), deep-ocean mapping for undersea advantage, and the capability to support distributed, long-endurance power projection.
Designed for months at sea, Surveyor fuses radar, EO/IR, ML-based detection, passive acoustics, AIS, and high-power oceanographic payloads to operate independently across the world’s harshest environments.
