The HydroBoat 990 is Novatest’s USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle<\/em>) system for professional bathymetric surveys. It integrates GNSS\/RTK positioning, a 200 kHz single-beam echo sounder and autonomous navigation into one compact platform: operational in under 5 minutes, safe for the operator, accurate to the centimetre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10893,"template":"","droni_cats":[363],"class_list":["post-10891","droni","type-droni","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","droni_cats-droni-uav-solutions-en"],"acf":{"specifica_prodotto":"Android-powered USV for High-Accuracy Bathymetric Surveys","testo_breve_thumb_lista_prodotti":"Android-powered USV for High-Accuracy Bathymetric Surveys","contenuto_testuale_del_prodotto":"

What is HydroBoat 990 and why it redefines bathymetric surveying<\/h3>\n

Traditional bathymetric surveys require vessels, crew and lengthy setup times, exposing operators to risk in often challenging environments. HydroBoat 990 removes these constraints: it is an unmanned surface vehicle controlled from an Android tablet, which navigates autonomously along a planned route and acquires water depth in real time with a precision of \u00b11 cm.<\/p>\n

The system is designed to operate without a base station using network RTK technology, and adapts to any body of water: rivers with current, lakes and reservoirs with aquatic vegetation, port areas, coastlines and canals. The carbon-fibre double hull with\u00a0IP67<\/strong>\u00a0rating ensures continuous operation in wind force 3 and wave force 2 conditions.<\/p>\n

From planning to export: the complete workflow in a single app<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0SLHydro USV<\/strong>\u00a0Android app manages the full workflow from the handheld controller: survey grid planning, automated mission launch, live 360\u00b0 video monitoring and data download on completion. The\u00a0SLHydro Sounder<\/strong>\u00a0software for Windows completes the pipeline with data processing, tide correction, triangulation and export to standard formats (DXF, CSV, XYZ).<\/p>\n","slider":[{"immagine":{"ID":10895,"id":10895,"title":"novatest_hydroboat_990_01","filename":"novatest_hydroboat_990_01.jpg","filesize":72462,"url":"https:\/\/www.novatest.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/novatest_hydroboat_990_01.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.novatest.it\/en\/droni\/hydroboat-990-usv\/novatest_hydroboat_990_01-2\/","alt":"","author":"4","description":"","caption":"","name":"novatest_hydroboat_990_01-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":10891,"date":"2026-06-17

The\u00a0waterjet propulsion without rudder<\/strong>\u00a0is one of HydroBoat 990’s key advantages over conventional propeller systems: no exposed mechanical parts means no fouling risk in heavily vegetated or rocky-bottomed water, and significantly reduced maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n
