Uncrewed systems experimentation advances NOAA science

Research and experimentation with uncrewed systems allows NOAA to improve and expand the ways that critical, accurate and time-sensitive data can be gathered and used. NOAA researchers and their partners use simulated and real-world experiments to assess the impact of uncrewed systems technologies and the data they collect. This information is then used to integrate uncrewed systems into NOAA operations.

Two people in orange life jackets with their backs to the camera stare out at the ocean as a red uncrewed surface vehicle drives by.
