apache-5-usv

Overview

Advanced Hydrographic Drone is a professional high-performance USV solution with integrated single echo sounder. It features detachable triple-hulled vessel to match various environmental constraints such as open space lake or shallow draft channel without worrying about running aground. TheAdvanced Hydrographic Drone USV solution embeds the CHCNAV absolute straight-line technology which enables a fully automatic pre-determined course in autonomous mode in adversed current and flow conditions. The survey projects can be completed in both manual and automatic cruise modes.

  • ONE-MAN OPERATION:
    Allow one operator to cope with most of remote deployment conditions Made of macromolecule polyester carbon fiber and Kevlar fiber-glass weighting 10 kg without sensors. It can be carried by a single person during the entire project from on-site transport, installation, calibration and mission processing.
  • HIGH PERFORMANCE TRIPLE-HULLED VESSEL DESIGN:
    s Versatile USV solution for offshore, coastal and inland water and lakes surveys Its dual detachable floating bodies keep the hull balanced even in the rapid current situation. Removing the floating bodies allows operation in shoals, channels and shallow rivers without run aground.
  • ABSOLUTE LINEAR TECHNOLOGY:
    Maintain a perfect straight sailing course even in complex current conditions Integrate high precision GNSS positioning and heading technology to ensure high accuracy bathymetric survey in fully autonomous mode.
  • HIGH RESOLUTION VIDEO CAMERA:
    Real-time video stream up to 2 km The video feed increases mission efficiency and safety in case of emergency; or unpredictable situations (riverfront survey, grounding...) especially when completing out of line-of-sight survey or bad weather conditions.
