flag Saildrone and Lockheed Martin will equip ocean drones with missiles for U.S. Navy defense, starting live tests in 2026.

flag Saildrone, a California tech company, has partnered with Lockheed Martin to equip its unmanned ocean drones with missiles, marking a major shift from civilian to military use. flag Backed by a $50 million investment, the companies will integrate Lockheed’s JAGM missile system onto Saildrone’s Surveyor USVs, with live-fire tests planned for 2026. flag Larger platforms are in development to carry heavier payloads like vertical launch systems and sonar arrays. flag The move supports U.S. Navy goals for fleet defense and undersea surveillance, particularly in the Pacific, and leverages Saildrone’s proven endurance from years of oceanic data missions.
