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.
