In Part 3 of our Saildrone video series, CFO Barak Ben-Gal details the company's groundbreaking approach to ocean data collection. Saildrone equips unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) with advanced sensors to gather diverse ocean data for various customers. Their daring missions include circumnavigating the Atlantic Ocean, sailing directly into hurricanes, and providing unprecedented access to storm data, underscoring their commitment to advancing ocean science and climate research.

We are a data company, so we put different types of payloads. It's a fancy way of saying sensors onto the Uvs and based on the type of sensors that you put on there, you collect different types of ocean data. And we sell only the data to our customers, not the US V And based on the amount of data you're capturing, is that something that like I or a consumer wouldn't be able to access? Is that publicly available? So a portion of it, yes, obviously we collect data for all sorts of different. Customers, we collect data for foundations and universities, we collect data for corporate partners, we collect data for some of the civil agencies and some for our Homeland Security and defense partners. So obviously if you're buying data for foundations or if you're buying data from NASA or NOAA, they do make that data publicly available. In fact, we worked for the National Weather Service for a while and you can actually go into the National Weather Service database and see. Our data available there, it is used for research. I'm pleased to say that actually just this earlier this month, a paper came out using data that we collected for completely different mission for circumnavigating the Antarctic Ocean. And several years later that data is being reused in a completely separate independent party. So it does get used by the public quite a lot. And talking about the Weather Service, one of the things I feel like we've all seen children in the press on is. Their interactions with hurricanes, how exactly does that work? So I am pleased to say that we've sailed into hurricanes into for multiple years on purpose. In fact, our insurance has a specific clause on it that says the damage is not covered if we knowingly sail into a named storm. Yet I've never had that at any of my companies. But I can say that we have sailed into hurricanes with the National or on behalf of the Noah. Our customer and we have sailed into Category 4 hurricanes not once but multiple times. We actually made it into the Guinness Book of World Records 2024 and a picture of the drones that sailed into the eye of the hurricane actually kept continuing to send out live data, pictures and even videos. And so you could see these 50 foot waves, 100 mile per hour winds and the data keeps coming out. You mean he got access to? Information that the world has never had access into of what actually happens inside of the eye of a category 4 hurricane. That picture from that drone is in sitting in the office of the no administrator today. And from a just a behavioral perspective, as you're capturing all this information, I imagine it's more than just video. Yeah, there other data points you guys are gathering that are better informing the Weather Service around, you know, predictive preventative, any measures like absolutely. So we are not the scientist, right? Our job is to collect this information on behalf of our customer. We collect a multitude of they're called essential climate variables and everything from water temperature to skin temperatures, we are able to collect fluctuates because we can collect data. Not just at the surface, but above and below. So we can collect wind speed, we can collect information, but the waves and the frequency and the size of them. We can also collect data from underneath the surface of the water. So current speed, direction, water temperature. So lots and lots of information. I would say that the information that is collected is not just about hurricanes and and water temperatures etcetera. We recently just discovered just off the coast of California. Here are completely undiscovered sea mount that comes up to within 1000 feet of the ocean surface. We just discovered it while testing one of our drones out there. All sorts of interesting data that comes up.

As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) become more critical in disaster response and mitigation, they need to be adaptable to a variety of situations. This is where the Inertial Labs INS come into play; in GPS-enabled or denied environments, the INS navigation systems allow the UAVs to perform their jobs in critical environments.

🚀#mdpisymmetry #featurepaper Excited to share a Feature Paper with you. "Monitoring Dropping Densities with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV): An Effective Tool to Assess Distribution Patterns in Field Utilization by Foraging Geese" 🔸https://lnkd.in/gvn7fsq2 🔹Authors: Johan H. Funder Castenschiold et al. Aalborg University Aalborg Zoo 🔸Abstract: Counting of droppings is often, with great effect, used as an indirect method to monitor the appearance and usage of an area by a population covering longer time spans. However, manual detecting and counting of droppings can be time-consuming and tedious, and with a risk of resulting in course estimations. In this context, we studied the use of imaging from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a novel and enhanced tool to estimate the dropping densities and distributions of field foraging Arctic migratory geese... #drone #GIS Life Sciences Section of Symmetry

Just as the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle industry has grown, so has the need for low-level weather observations for these types of aircraft to safely operate. From agricultural purposes to delivery services and more, it is important to have a good grasp of the weather conditions before taking flight. In this week’s #blogpost, read on about how weather has a growing impact on the flight of unmanned aircraft and the solutions Climavision offers: https://hubs.la/Q02kpsQh0 #UAV #RemoteSensing

Measuring bidirectional reflectivity of ground-based objects has long posed a challenging task, hampered by limitations in both ground-based and satellite-based observations from multiple angles. However, in recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a valuable remote sensing solution, providing convenience and cost-effectiveness while enabling multi-view observations. https://lnkd.in/gSk3nsNZ
