This is interesting, Saildrone buys a WIF sensor from Entratech. It would be nice to see what platforms we are on :)
Saildrone is proud to announce a strategic investment from Lockheed Martin, one of the world’s leading defense technology companies.
Together, we are accelerating the development of next-generation unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) that deliver enhanced capability and kinetic effects, strengthening the US Navy’s vision for a distributed, resilient, and technology-enabled maritime force.
This collaboration brings together Saildrone’s decade of operationally proven autonomy with Lockheed Martin’s trusted effectors and mission systems. The result: faster innovation, new capabilities in the hands of our warfighters, new industrial capacity, and new jobs created in American shipyards and across the maritime supply chain.
Saildrone has always strived to make operations at sea safer, smarter, and more capable. This partnership represents the next step in that journey—marrying the best of commercial and defense innovation to deliver critical capabilities where and when they are needed most.
