Abstract

Saildrone is a company that operates unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) that resemble small robotic sailboats. These USVs are equipped with sensors that collect atmospheric and ocean data for various purposes, such as monitoring weather events and protecting marine life. Saildrone's data is used by customers involved in law enforcement, including the U.S. military, to track illegal activities like fishing, drug smuggling, and human trafficking. The company has also partnered with Seabed 2030 to map the ocean floor, which will aid in climate models, tsunami forecasting, and infrastructure planning. [Extracted from the article]
