APACHE 6

Advanced Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) with NORBIT Multibeam Echosounder

  • an innovative, fully integrated solution for 3D bathymetric surveys, positioning of underwater objects, offshore construction, underwater archaeology and wreck salvage
  • built around a triple-hull vessel and optimized for the Norbit™ multibeam echo sounder series 
  • offers a fully autonomous survey mode, powered by field-proven CHCNAV absolute straight line technology, to follow a predetermined path even in adverse current conditions.
  • reduces survey time, improves work efficiency and produces high-resolution data to always meet the requirements of the most demanding marine projects.
  • lightweight for easy deployment, weighting only 15 kg without sensors, which allows for two operators to carry out most of remote deployment
  • optional terrestrial mapping laser sensor

APACHE 3 PRO

Compact, high-performance USV designed for autonomous bathymetric surveys in shallow waters

  • comes standard with a D270 single-beam echosounder, RTK GNSS/INS sensors, a millimeter-wave obstacle avoidance radar system
  • tight integration of GNSS and INS sensors eliminates data outliers, and ensures consistent accuracy and reliability, even when navigating under bridges
  • integrates a built-in water temperature sensor to enable real-time sound velocity correction in response to temperature changes, resulting in superior depth measurement accuracy
  • can be equipped with water analysis probes to measure water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and more
  • weighs of only 10 kg (excluding sensors), which allows a single operator to effortlessly manage a variety of remote deployment scenarios
  • motor design enables surveys in diverse water conditions

APACHE 3

Compact shallow-draft hull with a single-beam echo-sounder

  • portable shallow-draft hull USV with a single-beam echo sounder for bathymetric surveys of lakes, inland rivers, and coastal areas
  • combines a dual GNSS positioning and heading sensor, a stable and reliable hull attitude, and an IMU sensor, allowing uninterrupted survey while passing below bridges
  • Integrate high precision GNSS positioning and heading technology to ensure high accuracy bathymetric survey in fully autonomous mode
  • the master control unit provides seamless 4G communication, removing the limitations of traditional network bridge base stations and transmission distances, and making hydrographic survey easier
  • less than 1 m length and pocket-hulled vessel design, the APACHE 3 weighs only 7 kg without sensors
