About this award
The U.S. Department of Defense Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded Saildrone Inc. an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) for Voyager Drones production valued at $54.1M, with a completion date of December 1, 2025. This non-set-aside contract supports the production of autonomous unmanned surface vessels (USVs) at Saildrone's facility in Alameda, California. OTAs represent a streamlined procurement mechanism designed to foster innovation and accelerate development of cutting-edge technologies, making them particularly suitable for advanced maritime systems like Saildrone's wind and solar-powered autonomous platforms equipped with sophisticated sensor packages.
Saildrone specializes in providing uncrewed maritime systems for critical defense and civilian applications, including oceanographic research, maritime domain awareness, and environmental monitoring. The company has established itself as a key provider of autonomous surface vessel technology across multiple federal agencies, including NOAA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Office of Naval Research. Through this production-focused OTA, the Department of Defense is investing in operational autonomous maritime capabilities that enable high-resolution ocean data collection and extended mission endurance without requiring onboard human operators, supporting the military's broader modernization efforts in unmanned systems and maritime intelligence.
