  • The live-fire operation was conducted off Hawaii under the Navy Fleet Experimentation Program.
  • The Surveyor acted on target data for a surrogate high-speed surface craft through the ARES combat system.
  • A passive electronic-warfare sensor also detected, classified and identified a surrogate threat radar.

Saildrone builds and operates uncrewed surface vehicles for maritime intelligence, ocean mapping, ISR and environmental monitoring. Its platforms combine wind or solar power, onboard sensing and autonomy for long-endurance ocean missions.
