HydroBoat 990/1200 USV

HydroBoat 990 USV – Android-powered USV system for bathymetric surveys
Truly convenient, truly powerful, and truly reliable HydroBoat 990 is an Android-powered USV system for bathymetric surveys. With only one man, one boat, and one controller to get the bathymetric surveys done.

With easy-to-use Android software and an integrated and practical boat structure, the HydroBoat 990 sails fast and measures accurately with excellent technical performance.

Usability
The reliable software SLHydro USV is installed on a smart Android controller featuring bathymetric measurement, course planning, online map, and video cruising. A GNSS receiver and SBES echo sounder are well-equipped on the boat, all you need is to simply click “Connect “, and the GNSS system, together with the echo sounder and video system will be automatically configured on the SLHydro USV. Simple and convenient enough, say goodbye to communication stations and computers.

Functionality
Built-in high-precision positioning and heading GNSS receiver and INS sensors for correct direction, and real-time display of echo information for determining the topography of the seafloor. The hovering function keeps the boat in place while in flowing water, and the overall structure of the boat stabilizes the boat and reduces bow rise.

Reliability
Millimeter wave radar accurately detects obstacles to ensure the safe sailing of the vessel. The IP67 waterproof and double hull design keeps the HydroBoat 990 from abrasing and sinking, and staying intact from the unexpected impact. Reliability matters in the field!

HydroBoat 1200 – One Platform, Infinite Surveys
Multi-Purpose USV Platform for Hydrographic Surveys and Monitoring
HydroBoat 1200—an embodiment of compactness and ease, tailored for seamless operation across a spectrum of equipment.
Enhanced by professional CFD technology, its stability finds new heights. Melded with high-precision single-beam echo sounder, GNSS directional positioning receiver, and an advanced intelligent boat-control system, it deftly serves varied water operational demands.
Augmented safety through embedded IMU, 360° pan-tilt camera, and millimeter-wave radar fortifies its attributes comprehensively. This autonomous vessel, which can be mounted with leading ADCP, side-scan sonar, dual-frequency sounder, multi-parameter water quality meter, image sonar, and more, stands poised as the quintessential partner for tasks encompassing current measurement, bathymetry, underwater survey, and water quality assessment.

Unmatched Versatility and Portability
A comprehensive platform that is designed especially for integrating with varied water measurement devices for hydrographic surveys and environmental monitoring. Its lightweight design and enhanced maneuverability facilitate operational flexibility in different instrument deployments and transportation for surveys between different sites.

Adaptive Water Flow
Precise hovering and efficient trajectory tracking. No fear of waves and wind. Follow predefined path with accuracy even in challenging envrionment. Hydrodynamically efficient design for the USV’s intended operations, guided by CFD simulation, enhances hull stability and noise reduction under varied water conditions and loads.

New GNSS+IMU Combination Algorithm
With millisecond-level dynamic response, the high-performance CAD engine simplifies stakeout point and line selection, making the process incredibly intuitive and efficient with just one click.

Comprehensive Safety Enhancement 
360° security and precision. Built-in SBES, GNSS, IMU, 360° PTZ camera, millimeter-wave radar, and dual-color navigation lights ensure accurate water depth and positioning data and provide all-around protection against boat grounding and collisions.
