In the realm of autonomous oceanic monitoring, one company stands out as a leader in innovation and efficiency. Saildrone, a San Francisco-based startup, has developed groundbreaking technology that is transforming the way we gather and analyze nautical data. With a mission to make ocean intelligence collection cost-effective, Saildrone’s autonomous uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) are equipped with state-of-the-art sensors that enable them to track hurricanes, discover underwater mountains, and map the world’s ocean floor.
The key to Saildrone’s success lies in the integration of cutting-edge technology into their USVs. These vehicles are equipped with NVIDIA Jetson modules for AI at the edge, ensuring efficient processing of the vast amount of data collected. The data is further optimized through the use of NVIDIA DeepStream software development kit, enabling intelligent video analytics.
Saildrone’s technology is widely utilized in various fields, including science, fisheries, weather forecasting, ocean mapping, and maritime security. By offering three different types of USVs and a Mission Portal control center service, Saildrone caters to diverse needs. The control center allows users to monitor customized missions and visualize data in near real-time. Additionally, Saildrone provides open access to some of its historical data, allowing the wider public to benefit from their findings.
