US EditionDenmark tests unmanned robotic sailboat fleet with tensions high in the region
- Denmark launched two unmanned robotic sailboats known as Voyagers on Monday from Koge Marina near Copenhagen to conduct surveillance missions.
- The deployment comes amid increased unrest and reports of sabotage incidents in the waters of the Baltic and North Seas following Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
- The Voyagers measure 10 meters, can operate autonomously for months, and carry advanced sensors including radar, infrared cameras, sonar, and acoustic systems scanning depths up to 300 meters.
- Richard Jenkins, Saildrone's CEO, compared the vessels to a “truck” carrying sensors that use AI to deliver a full picture above and below the surface within 20 to 30 miles.
- This three-month trial aims to enhance maritime domain awareness around critical undersea infrastructure and support NATO's layered surveillance system amid a tense Baltic security situation.
