    Description
    About Us

    With more than 2 million nautical miles sailed and 50,000 days at sea, Saildrone has earned the trust of governments worldwide.

    Our unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) deliver continuous, real-time intelligence in the toughest oceans on Earth-giving our partners faster awareness, stronger security, and a decisive edge at sea.

    Our USVs are long-range, extreme-endurance platforms powered by advanced sensors and proprietary AI * they have been designed to operate where no crewed vessel can.

    They collect critical insights above and below the surface to support border security, law enforcement, naval operations, and undersea infrastructure protection.

    Headquartered in Alameda, CA, with offices in Washington, DC, and global deployment hubs, Saildrone operates missions worldwide.
