THE OCEAN,

Bluetyde builds autonomous drones that live on the ocean, sleep on it and fly when needed — for persistent ocean presence and maritime awareness.
Ocean presence doesn't have to be a million-dollar expedition.
So we built a robot that floats on the sea,
senses what's around it, and flies where it's needed.
Lifts off and relocates
when it matters
Flight is the expensive part, so it is spent rarely — to beat a current, reach an event, or climb for a longer look.
- 40–100 kmrange per day
One machine,
many senses.
In the air
It climbs up, looks around far past the horizon, and checks the weather while it's up.
On the surface
How warm the water is, how salty, how rough — measured from right inside the sea, not guessed from space.
Under the water
A microphone hangs underneath and picks up boats, whales and fish moving below.
Stays out there
for weeks
Motors off, it costs almost nothing to sit there. The sea holds it up and the sun puts the charge back, so staying out stops being a battery problem.
- ≈0 Wpropulsion draw while floating
- 4–6 kWh/m²typical tropical solar, per day
One is useful.
A thousand is infrastructure.
Draw an area. The fleet moves itself.
