Saildrone

Polar ice is melting, changing the calculus of how naval forces must think about the GIUK Gap. Saildrone provides the autonomous USVs required to maintain a continuous, uninterrupted layer of MDA. Read more: go.saildrone.com/4wkPc2Q

“The expansion of our partnership with the @USCG into the Great Lakes and Northeast regions reflects the value Saildrone has delivered in prior missions,” said Saildrone President and retired US Navy Vice Adm. John Mustin. Read more: go.saildrone.com/4fgoRg9

16 Saildrone Voyagers. Thousands of miles of coastline. Two critical US Coast Guard mission sets. We’re deploying Saildrone Voyagers to the Great Lakes and Northeast to assist the USCG in securing the US border and safeguarding domestic fisheries. go.saildrone.com/4fgoRg9

It’s exactly what we’re doing through ongoing operations in the Middle East with the USN’s Task Force 59 and @CMF_Bahrain. Remaining on mission in harsh operational environments requires proven capabilities with endurance that can only be built through real mission experience.

What does it mean to be a “game-changer” for modern navies? It means moving beyond sterilized demos to deliver persistent, real-world maritime domain awareness? Read the full article in @NavalInstitute's May issue of Proceedings here: usni.org/magazines/proc…

Saildrone CEO Richard Jenkins had a great time talking Spectre tech with Naval News!

2,800 sq km. Two Saildrone Voyagers. A clear picture of Florida’s seafloor. 🪸 We’ve completed our bathymetric survey off the Gulf Coast, delivering high-res data on reefs and shipwrecks to support the Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative. Read more: go.saildrone.com/4vOHihT

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.—Saildrone on Monday introduced a new class of high-endurance, medium unmanned surface vessels (MUSVs) with two variants, one of which defensedaily.com/saildrone-intr…

Saildrone’s Missile-Toting Spectre Enters Navy’s Medium-Sized Unmanned Ship Competition Saildrone has joined forces with defense juggernauts to supersize its proven vehicle concept and equip it with missiles and sub-hunting sensors. twz.com/sea/saildrones…

We are proud to announce that through our U.S. subsidiary Fincantieri Marine Group (FMG), we will build Spectre, a new class of high-speed, multi-mission unmanned surface vessel (USV), developed by Saildrone, a global leader and the world’s most experienced operator of unmanned surface vehicles. At approximately 52 meters in length, with a displacement of around 250 tons and a top speed of up to 30 knots, Spectre is the largest, fastest, and most capable Saildrone platform to date. Optimized for anti-submarine warfare operations, the vessel delivers extreme endurance and an ultra-quiet acoustic signature, while remaining adaptable to alternative mission configurations, including higher-speed and low observable operational profiles. The program builds on FMG’s proven expertise in the serial production of advanced aluminum vessels, reinforcing our long-standing commitment to the United States, ensuring continuity with domestic industrial requirements while contributing to the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy and allied maritime forces. With Spectre, we are proud to further consolidate our position as a cornerstone industrial partner in the emerging maritime defense ecosystem, leveraging autonomy, industrial execution and reliable production cycles towards a safer and more innovative future. @saildrone

@Admanta @Aviation_Intel It's always fun to spot a saildrone in the wild!

@Aviation_Intel Look what I saw on San Francisco Bay literally the next day.

What a day! Saildrone looking sharp at Sea Air Space 2026. But this is only a small part of the team—the real work goes on behind the scenes. Proud of every single one of them. Go Saildrone 💪 Coming to SAS? Visit us at Booth #1315

Saildrone CEO and Founder Richard Jenkins spoke to @axios's @demarest_colin about the launch of our largest and most capable platform, Saildrone Spectre. axios.com/2026/04/20/sai…

Introducing Saildrone Spectre: Today at Sea Air Space, Saildrone introduced our largest and most capable platform to date: At 52 m, Saildrone Spectre is a modern, stealth-optimized USV designed for demanding, long-duration defense missions. Read more: go.saildrone.com/4tVBwt9

"The world’s oceans cover more than 71 percent of the planet and play a critical role in the global economy, influencing food production, weather, energy, and the movement of goods. The ocean is also the United States’ largest and most mineral-rich frontier." - Mr. Brian Connon (@saildrone)

Saildrone VP of Ocean Mapping Brian Connon delivered testimony to the House Science, Space, and Technology subcommittee on the environment today. "We can chart the entire US EEZ in 3 years for the cost of building a single new ship." Watch the testimony: youtube.com/watch?v=pf6fni…

On the cover of @OceanNewsTech: Unmanned naval defense demands battle-ready maritime autonomy built on proven platforms and payloads. The next phase will be defined by systems that can be integrated, deployed, and scaled now. @LockheedMartin Read: bit.ly/3NnIw2o

Winter ops in the Baltic aren’t a demo—they’re our mission. Saildrone Voyagers keep operating through freezing spray and sea ice, proving what works now. Capability-forward: endurance, persistence, and reliable data—delivering decision advantage for months in harsh, remote seas.

Predictable gaps in maritime surveillance are an adversary’s best friend. In the Baltic Sea, Saildrone is closing those gaps by providing round-the-clock surface and sub-seafloor awareness. Learn more: go.saildrone.com/4rM0Ktl
