The world’s largest unmanned surface vehicle capable of operating independently across all oceans has been awarded class certification by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
The Saildrone Surveyor, a fully autonomous 65-foot-long (20-meter-long) unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed for deep-sea missions officially received ABS class certification on August 27.
The Surveyor is reportedly the largest class of USVs from Saildrone, a California-based defense company specializing in unmanned maritime systems, ocean mapping, and meteorological and oceanographic data using unmanned autonomous assets.
