Saildrone was named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies for 2024. The list includes leaders, disrupters, innovators, and titans like Anthropic, Nvidia, Amazon, and Intel, among others! “Powered mostly by wind and solar energy, the USVs—which do, in fact, look like small robotic sailboats—are packed with sensors gathering atmospheric and ocean data for everything from measuring dangerous weather events to saving the whales (from harm by ships and construction), and can stay unattended for up to a year...'We do a bit of everything, and you can often do many things at the same time,' said CEO Richard Jenkins."

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.

Saildrone has completed a 1,500 sq nm survey for NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in a previously unmapped area of the Gulf of Maine, revealing a complex and varied underwater landscape. The Gulf of Maine is one of the highest mapping priorities due to its economically important fisheries supported by diverse habitats, including deep-sea corals, and the potential to support wind energy.🪸 “The New England Fishery Management Council (NEFMC) is very interested in better understanding habitats in their region that could support fish production. The information, including high-resolution seafloor maps, visual sightings of deep-sea coral habitat and associated fishes, and species distribution models, can aid the Council’s fishery management decisions,” said Heather Coleman, a researcher with the NOAA Fisheries Office of Habitat Conservation’s Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program. The data collected will inform new species distribution models in the Gulf and help update nautical chargers and aid navigation, filling important gaps in bathymetric coverage.

Saildrone has started a first-of-its-kind mission to map the Cayman Islands’ Exclusive Economic Zone, to collect data that will improve maritime navigation and support scientific research. Using autonomous technology to survey 80% of the Cayman EEZ represents a major milestone in ocean mapping. 👏🌊 “Our waters hold such great value to us for a myriad of reasons ranging from recreational to economic. Conducting this assessment will allow our government to make data-driven decisions that will strengthen our policies and legislations as it relates to our maritime infrastructure.” — Hon. Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, Premier and Minister for District Administration & Lands The Saildrone Surveyor USV arrived in the Cayman Islands EEZ to begin the mission this week; the mission will take approximately six months.

Saildrone and NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration officially kick off the 4th annual hurricane mission today 🌀 New this year: Two Saildrone USVs will collect data on air-sea CO2 exchange during hurricane events. “It’s not known how hurricanes affect the exchange of CO2 between the ocean and the atmosphere and how that impacts the global carbon budget. If we can get one of these two USVs into a major storm, it would give us some of the first direct measurements of air-sea CO2 exchange inside a hurricane.” — Greg Foltz, NOAA oceanographer NOAA has predicted an 85% chance of an above-normal season, and two USVs went on mission early to intercept named storms.

Saildrone was at Women Impact Tech last week, where our director of technical program management, Sarah Parker, spoke on a panel discussing responsible tech.💪👏 If you're interested in making an ocean data #impact, check out our open positions at https://lnkd.in/dGNRgbX
I want to share a quick thank you 🙏 to the Women Impact Tech conference for having me as a panelist last week for Saildrone! It was a great feeling being amongst so many women in tech -- the energy and enthusiasm for the work we all do was powerful. I am so grateful for all of the connections I made and look forward to seeing what happens next with all! (thanks for your all's patience in me responding to messages!) It was truly an inspiring event! The women I was lucky enough to be on the panel with are total rockstars 👩🎤 and I loved the feedback that it seemed like "we were a team" on stage. Heck yeah! I have a feeling this just might be the kickoff of something else great to come from said "team"... Just what will happen when you get a group of motivated women leaders together......... 🤔 Ramyata Mehrotra, Alexa Witowski, Ashleigh Rogers, Harshita Lall ❤️
