With the advance of electronics, geo-positioning, and communication, remote automatic systems and instruments are becoming more advanced. The SailBuoy, an unmanned surface vessel, embodies this progress, combining the ability to navigate and move autonomously with robust METOCEAN instrumentation.
“Since remote unmanned systems are relatively new, they are not yet as proven compared to traditional remote instrumentation.” However, the SailBuoy offers a promising solution for long-term ocean monitoring by withstanding “harsh environmental conditions” and providing reliable data.
