Lock' Martin, Saildrone
Lockheed Martin is investing $50 million in Saildrone to accelerate the deployment of armed, long-endurance unmanned surface vessels capable of operating across all maritime domains. Saildrone USVs have been accomplishing complex maritime missions since 2013, logging over 2 million nautical missions. First deployed by the US Navy in 2021, they are currently operational and working alongside American Sailors in combat theaters around the world. By integrating Lockheed Martin’s advanced defense payloads, the company’s platform will transition from intelligence and surveillance roles to lethal military applications. With our technology proven, de-risked, and mission-ready, now is the right time to augment Saildrone USVs with sophisticated payloads to meet warfighter needs. This collaboration will give Saildrone the tools we need to transform the capabilities of our platforms, to include electronic warfare, anti-submarine warfare, sophisticated surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as deploying kinetic effects, all seamlessly integrated with Lockheed Martin’s trusted command, control, and fire control systems. |
