Uncrewed systems unlock co-located air-sea sampling in extreme storm conditions

Coordinating uncrewed vehicles in extreme storm conditions has been a persistent challenge, but a new physics-based simulator for a rigid-wing, wind-powered USV marks a measurable step forward. Calibrated and validated using NOAA Atlantic Hurricane mission data, it reproduces surge, sway, and yaw under real-world wind and current forces. This tool enables repeatable virtual experiments for co-located air-sea sampling, critical for understanding climate indicators.
