Saildrone Hurricane Monitoring 2021 NRT data, drone 1031

Metadata Updated: February 23, 2024

Five Gen6 Saildrone Explorer USVs were launched in the Atlantic Ocean for the duration of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season. These USVs were equipped with a 'hurricane wing' designed specifically to withstand hurricane-strength winds and waves. The five objectives of this mission include (1) advancing the CONOPS of steering and operating USVs towards strong low-pressure systems, (2) coordinating with underwater gliders, (3) developing CONOPS for coordinating with UAVs, (4) developing CONOPS for using multiple USVs to observe the air-sea interface ahead, inside and behind hurricanes, and (5) provision of real-time data for ingestion to Global Telecommunications System (GTS) and reception by operational data assimilation and forecast systems.
