Client Stories

Discover how Saildrone technology is used to economically collect high-resolution deep sea bathymetry data in a range of ocean environments.

The United States has vast areas of unsurveyed waters, particularly in the Western Pacific, the Arctic, and the Great Lakes. We cannot afford to conduct these surveys using traditional methods and are seeking technology that will allow us to increase our capacity for surveying over the coming decade."
