Saildrone is excited to unveil the first of a new generation of Surveyor-class unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), purpose-built for autonomous deep-water ocean mapping missions and maritime defense and security missions. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Lisa Franchetti was on-site at Austal USA in Mobile, AL, on Monday to inspect the vehicle, ahead of these new USVs being tested under contract to the US Navy. A lighter, leaner design to optimize speed, power, and payload for long-range, long-endurance autonomous ocean mapping and maritime security.
