Неромантичные и бесчеловечные «алые не паруса» - Saildrone морские дроны двойного назначения

Морские дроны, работающие на энергии Солнца и ветра – статья о них могла бы быть исключительно мирной, рассказывающей о том, как подобные беспилотные морские дроны помогают мониторить океан, его загрязнение, или искать пропавших при кораблекрушениях и воздушных происшествиях над водой. Но нет. Сегодня приходится рассматривать это в контексте происходящих событий, и через призму возможного…

The Renaissance Man of Venture Capital

Lux Capital’s Josh Wolfe is channeling sci-fi to bank on “the inevitable arrow of progress.”

"They don’t care what the ten-year rate is; they don’t even know who the head of the Fed is. I mean, they couldn’t tell you what the S&P level is, they couldn’t tell you the price of gold. They’re focused on their own chip on their shoulder and their ambition to go produce some matter that matters."

Saildrone secures $100M Series C

- By Nuadox Crew -

California-based Saildrone, a startup specialized in uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs), announced on October 18 it has secured a $100 million Series C funding round.

Saildrone, the emerging market leader in ocean data, ocean mapping, and maritime intelligence solutions, today announced the close of its $100M Series C round, bringing its total funding to $190M.

Led by BOND, the round includes new investors XN, Standard Investments, Emerson Collective, and Crowley Maritime Corporation, as well as participation from previous investors, Capricorn’s Technology Impact Fund, Lux Capital, Social Capital, and Tribe Capital. The new financing will be used to grow Saildrone’s data insight teams and scale go-to-market functions to meet the rapidly growing demand for ocean domain intelligence.

Saildrone’s products are based on data collected from a fleet of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) that are powered primarily by renewable wind and solar power. Saildrone USVs are the most reliable autonomous vehicles on the planet, sailing over 500,000 nautical miles and clocking more than 15,000 days at sea in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. From the ice edge in the high Arctic to the inhospitable Southern Ocean, Saildrone USVs have proven their exceptional endurance and ability to collect rich, high-precision data. Only last week, a Saildrone USV navigated to the heart of Hurricane Sam, in a world first, taking scientific measurements and HD video that stands to transform our understanding of hurricane forecasting.

Saildrone not only collects scientific data for climate intelligence and high-resolution bathymetric mapping of the ocean floor, it also uses proprietary machine learning to provide marine domain awareness (MDA/ISR) for law enforcement and homeland security applications such as policing IUU fishing, counter narcotics operations, and marine sanctuary protection.

The Autonomous Saildrone Surveyor Preps for Its Sea Voyage

The Autonomous Saildrone Surveyor Preps for Its Sea Voyage

If you happen to be crossing the San Francisco Bay or Golden Gate bridges this week, look for a massive surfboard with a red sail on top cruising slowly across the water. Don’t flinch if you don’t see anyone on board. It’s actually an autonomous research vessel known as the Saildrone Surveyor and it’s being steered remotely from shore. The 72-foot-long vessel is launching this week into the bay…
