Saildrone and NOAA have released footage from Hurricane Tammy, captured near the western and southern eyewall of the storm.
During this storm, NOAA conducted the first co-located mission into a hurricane that included a Saildrone USV and a low-flying aerial drone (Anduril’s Altius-600) deployed from a Hurricane Hunter P-3.
