A fully managed ocean data service to keep you in control.
Saildrone provides a secure application for real-time data access and visualization with external data integrations and the ability to manage a user’s fleet, all via a user-friendly secure web portal with advanced collaboration features and mission planning tools.
The Saildrone Mission Portal provides a variety of tools—overlays of satellite products, model GRIB files, and ingestion of other assets such as ships, buoys, tagged animals, or other autonomous platforms—for on-the-fly mission analysis.
Observed an interesting feature? Users can update the route planning of any mission with point-and-click ease using precise waypoint management. Routes can be edited collaboratively, saved in libraries, and sent to mission control for vehicle re-tasking.
The Saildrone Mission Portal offers advanced collaboration tools and permissioning, making large-scale mission collaboration efficient and email-free. All communication is threaded, easy to follow, and offers users the ability to upload files.
In addition to visualizing data, real-time data is also available in NetCDF format following Unidata CF Conventions for on-the-fly offline analysis in popular tools such as MATLAB or R.
Saildrones will be guided into hurricanes in the Atlantic for the second straight year. The goal: improving storm forecasts.
