Overview
Saildrones are uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) that serve as autonomous meteorological and oceanographic sensors. Saildrones combine wind-powered propulsion and solar power to conduct long-range data collection and can be deployed for up to a year with minimal maintenance. They are capable of traveling at speeds up to 3-5 knots and cover over 750,000 nautical miles while carrying payloads of science-grade instruments and cameras.
