The Mobile, AL-based shipbuilder will manufacture Saildrone’s 65-foot USV.

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.

NOAA and Saildrone sent five autonomous vehicles into the Tropical Atlantic and successfully collected data of ocean-atmospheric interaction inside a major hurricane, which had never been done before by any uncrewed surface vehicle.

NASA’s S-MODE experiment leveraged instruments of the sea and sky to study how small-scale ocean dynamics impact Earth’s climate system.

Learn how wind and solar-powered saildrones are collecting data at sea in unprecedented detail.

A saildrone is a sailboat-like uncrewed vehicle designed to provide cost-effective solutions for in situ data collection in the most remote regions of the ocean and in the harshest conditions.

The saildrone's patented wing design enables the USV to cross oceans while only consuming a few watts of electricity—but the wing was originally born on land.
