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.
On July 7, 2021, NASA sent two Saildrone Explorers to the Arctic to collect sea surface temperature data and improve estimates of ocean temperatures in that region.
NASA.gov - September 2021To achieve the aggressive goals of Seabed 2030, uncrewed survey systems must be used to augment more traditional ocean mapping efforts, particularly on the high seas.
Hydro International - August 2021When you can combine the acoustic signature of things with the visual, radar, and AIS signature, you can build up an artificial intelligence database of all the things in the ocean.
