The APACHE 3 is a portable Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) developed for high-accuracy bathymetric data collection in shallow or confined aquatic environments. With a one-piece carbon fiber hull weighing just 7 kg and measuring 1 meter in length, the system is designed for single-person operation and transport to remote sites. Its reinforced hull structure provides 10 MPa strength and 60% improved impact resistance, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic riverine and coastal conditions.
Equipped with a 200 kHz single-beam echo sounder, dual GNSS modules, and an integrated IMU, the APACHE 3 delivers stable positioning and precise depth measurements. The onboard 4G communication link enables real-time transmission of video, survey data, and RTCM corrections, while the Android-based EasySail interface supports autonomous mission planning, live monitoring, and adaptive route control. An 800 W motor system with hot-swappable batteries ensures up to seven hours of endurance, maintaining efficient and uninterrupted hydrographic operations.
