Debarshi Mandal from Lockheed Martin and John Mustin from Saildrone discuss the partnership between the two companies to equip Saildrone USVs with Lockheed Martin weapons systems. Video recorded at the 2026 Surface Navy Association’s national symposium.Saildrone and Lockheed Martin have partnered to field lethal capabilities at the pace and scale the U.S. Navy demands. The first tangible step in this partnership will be to equip the 20-meter Saildrone Surveyor with Lockheed Martin’s proven and prolific JAGM launcher.Surveyor is a high-endurance, extreme-range USV that provides persistent maritime ISR and deep-ocean mapping capabilities, designed to operate autonomously anywhere in the world for months at a time with minimal human intervention or oversight. Equipped with sensors, radars, and communications equipment, the Surveyor detects, tracks, classifies, and relays near-real-time intelligence into a common operating picture, accelerating operational decision-making.
