• Saildrone launched two Lockheed Martin JAGM missiles from a Surveyor USV during RIMPAC, the platform's first missile launches.

  • The demonstration used the U.S. Navy's ARES (Adjunct Remote Engagement System) combat system to engage a surrogate high-speed surface craft, with firing decisions kept under human control.

  • Saildrone plans further integrations ahead of its larger Spectre USV, which will carry the Mk 70 launcher and anti-submarine towed arrays.
