1. A system for acquiring seismic streamer data during a seismic streamer survey, comprising:

  • an unmanned marine vessel having a power source configured to drive and provide propulsion to the unmanned marine vessel;

    a multi-dimensional seismic sensor array coupled with the unmanned marine vessel, wherein the multi-dimensional seismic sensor array is configured to acquire ultra-long seismic survey data, wherein ultra-long seismic survey data includes data having an offset greater than 20 km; and

    a float associated with the unmanned marine vessel including a global positioning system (“

    GPS”

    ) receiver and a recording system configured to store and transmit the seismic survey data for a full waveform inversion (“

    FWI”

    ).
