Saildrone surveyed more than 45,000 square kilometers of previously unknown ocean floor around Alaska’s Aleutian Islands and off the California coast to address ocean exploration gaps in remote areas. (March 7, 2023 – ALAMEDA, CA) – The Saildrone Surveyor, the world’s largest uncrewed ocean mapping vehicle, has completed a months-long survey around Alaska’s Aleutian Islands and off the coast of California as part of a multi-agency public-private partnership funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to address ocean exploration gaps in remote areas with uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs).

This week on the Dawn of Drones, join Dawn for a special episode with AUVSI representatives Michael Robbins, Chief Advocacy Officer, and Keely Griffith, VP of Strategic Programs, to get all the latest updates that will affect the "Future Industry" (which also happens to be our month theme, sponsored by Airspace Link).

For the second year, NOAA and Saildrone are hurricane chasing with uncrewed wind-powered vehicles.
