About Saildrone Voyager

Saildrone Voyager is a ten-metre uncrewed surface vehicle for coastal surveillance, nearshore mapping and maritime-domain awareness. Its mission equipment can include radar, cameras, passive acoustic sensors, multibeam echo sounders and sub-bottom profilers.

Voyager supports persistent ISR, counter-narcotics, border monitoring and survey work and has received interim classification from the American Bureau of Shipping. Hardware and software upgrades allow operation under GPS jamming and spoofing. Saildrone manufactures the platform for fleet-scale government and commercial deployment.
