About us
Saildrone provides comprehensive data solutions for maritime security, ocean mapping, and ocean data. The company provides real-time access to critical data from any ocean on earth, 24/7/365, and uses proprietary software applications to transform that data into actionable insights and intelligence. Saildrone’s fleet of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), powered by renewable wind and solar power, have a minimal carbon footprint and are designed to make ocean intelligence cost-effective at scale. Saildrones operate 24/7/365, without the need for a crewed support vehicle, and have sailed 1M nautical miles from the Arctic to the Antarctic and spent 32,000+ days at sea in the harshest ocean conditions on the planet.

ABC7 News Bay Area came to Saildrone yesterday to learn more about our mission with NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to collect critical hurricane data. "We recognize that hurricanes are very destructive to the people affected by them, and we hope that the data we collect is powerful enough for the scientists to develop ideas about how to reduce the risk for damage and loss of life." — Robbie Dean, VP Program Delivery https://lnkd.in/gNzV_WC8

Saildrone is proud to support NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in its continued effort to better understand and predict devastating events like Hurricane Milton. We wish all those in its path the best of luck to weather the storm safely.
Inside Hurricane Milton, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and Saildrone are gathering oceanic and atmospheric observations. On Wednesday October 9th, saildrone 1083 reported maximum significant wave height of 28.12 feet (8.57m), and wind gusts as strong as 75.95 mph (66kts) while 40 nautical miles from the center of the storm. Saildrones are uncrewed surface vehicles uniquely designed to gather temperature, pressure, wind speed, and wave height data from both the upper ocean and lowest levels of the atmosphere. These observations are critical in forecasting what conditions we can expect on the ground when a storm is making landfall. This vital research represents a collaborative endeavor between Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA Research, and Saildrone to better understand the role of the ocean in hurricanes.

The Wall Street Journal did a wonderful job building this interactive look at all the technologies NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration uses to improve hurricane prediction and better understand how they intensify—from 30k feet above the ocean surface to 3k feet below.

Inside Hurricane Helene 🌀 Saildrone and NOAA Research worked together this week to direct two Saildrone Explorer USVs into Hurricane Helene to gather data at the air-sea interface during the storm. On Thursday, September 26, at 6:16pm ET, SD-1083 captured this video and measured 9.06 meter (29.7 ft) significant wave height and 71.82 kt wind gusts. Visit hurricanes.gov for detailed forecasts, watches, and warnings, and follow the guidance of local officials. Saildrones are uncrewed surface vehicles powered by wind and solar energy and remotely piloted. They are capable of making multiple concurrent measurements of the environment, including wind speed, wave height, temperature, pressure, and salinity. This mission is a collaboration between NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) Lab, and Saildrone. 📷: Video of stormy water captured from saildrone SD-1083’s onboard camera at the eyewall of Hurricane Helene

What we're reading this week 📙 In Category 5, author Porter Fox turns climate science into a gripping thriller. Throughout the book, Fox shadows explorers, oceanographers, sailors, and weather forecasters to understand the power of the ocean and its effect on global weather patterns. He came to Saildrone to interview CEO Richard Jenkins and VP Ocean Mapping Brian Connon about how Saildrone USVs can help shed light on all that we don't know about the ocean. "We don't know what's down there. And the only way to know is to go and look." Order a copy from Amazon or find it at your local bookseller: https://lnkd.in/gyZnYmYq
