Saildrone

The Saildrone Voyager carries an impressive payload for near-shore and lakebed survey operations, including high-resolution MBES and Innomar SBP systems. The Voyager is the only survey USV that can deliver long-duration multibeam mapping surveys and ocean data collection at depths to 300 m.

Primarily powered by wind and solar, the Voyager also features an electric propulsion alternative, useful for low-wind and near-shore operations.

The Saildrone Voyager is the only commercial USV to earn formal classification, which allows it to operate in the ports and waters of countries that require vessels to be classed by organizations such as the American Bureau of Shipping, and demonstrates Saildrone’s commitment to safety, standardization, and reliability in its technology and operations.

The Saildrone Surveyor represents a paradigm shift in how we explore our oceans. Tried and tested in the most complex environments on groundbreaking missions to map remote and previously inaccessible regions, the Surveyor offers new and exciting capabilities for ocean mapping to full ocean depth.

Equipped with industry-leading sonars for near-shore and open-ocean bathymetry, the data sets collected by the Surveyor are of the highest quality and conform to the most stringent industry standards.

Primarily powered by renewable wind and solar power, the Saildrone Surveyor is the leading environmentally friendly ocean mapping platform, operating with near-zero carbon emissions and at a fraction of the cost of survey ships.
