The Voyager is equipped to conduct persistent coastal surveillance and nearshore mapping missions while remaining at sea for roughly 100 days at a time.
The Coast Guard is deploying more than a dozen Saildrone Voyager unmanned surface vessels (USVs) to the Great Lakes and the North Atlantic region in an effort to bolster maritime domain awareness.
The Voyager is equipped to conduct persistent coastal surveillance and nearshore mapping missions while remaining at sea for roughly 100 days at a time, according to the unmanned maritime systems manufacturer. In the Great Lakes, the unmanned vessels will support border security operations through monitoring and flagging suspicious activity, while in the North Atlantic, the vessels will assist Coast Guard efforts countering illegal fishing.
Ultimately, the 16 deployed Voyagers are designed to close visibility gaps - allowing Coast Guard personnel to tackle rescue and interdiction missions, according to Saildrone President John Mustin.
中譯:
「航海家」無人載具具備執行持續性海岸監控與近岸地圖繪製任務的能力,且每次出海可連續在海上停留約100天。
美國海岸防衛隊正將十幾艘由Saildrone公司製造的「航海家」(Voyager)無人水面載具(USV)部署至五大湖及北大西洋地區,以期大幅提升該區域的「海域覺知」。
根據製造商的說法,「航海家」配備了先進裝備,能執行持續性的海岸監控與近岸海圖繪製任務,且每次出海可連續在海上停留約100天。在五大湖區,這些無人載具將透過全面監控並標記可疑活動,來支援邊境安全行動;而在北大西洋,這些載具則將協助海岸防衛隊執行打擊非法捕魚的任務。
Saildrone總裁馬斯汀表示,這16艘部署的「航海家」最終設計目的是為了消除監控盲區—讓海岸防衛隊的人員能夠更精準地執行救援與攔截任務。
