Capability profile
Small autonomous sailing platforms use wind propulsion and solar-powered electronics. Silicon Sailor controls course through sail angle; Hybrid Voyager adds powered propulsion for constrained movement. Their limited payload and energy budget favour lightweight sensing rather than heavy survey equipment.
