Maritime Domain Awareness

Saildrone’s uncrewed vehicles are a long-endurance and environmentally friendly solution for persistent maritime security.

Rep. Wittman of Virginia visited Saildrone HQ to talk about how small USVs can support US maritime defense efforts.

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.

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

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.

Illegal fishing, drug interdiction, counter-piracy, and asset protection are just some of the applications for Saildrone’s autonomous maritime security solutions.

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.

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 USCG is examining the feasibility, costs, and benefits of using low-cost autonomous vehicles to provide persistent maritime domain awareness in remote areas of the ocean.

Week 4: Saildrone is demonstrating how USVs could be a cost-effective solution for monitoring illegal fishing activity in remote areas of the ocean.

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.

Week 2: The Saildrone MDA solution is made up of a specially built camera array and advanced onboard artificial intelligence and machine learning software.

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.

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