inexpensive way to expand its sightline, according to a Navy release announcing the testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drone is 23 feet long and 16 feet tall and relies on wind power to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also houses a sensor package powered by the sun, according to NAVCENT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vessel was built by

Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Saildrone company, such vehicles are built for long missions at sea and are equipped with cameras, automated identification
