MS400C All-in-one multibeam echo sounder for compact USVs
MS400C

Hydro-Tech’s MS400C is an all-in-one multibeam echo sounder that merges SVS, IMU, GNSS, and deck unit into a single streamlined sonar head. The system is optimized for small USVs, offering robust bathymetric performance in an ultra-portable 5.55kg form. By eliminating the need for separate hardware modules and minimizing cabling, the MS400C simplifies deployment, enabling efficient, high-resolution data collection in challenging aquatic environments.

Designed for operational speed and survey efficiency, the MS400C features factory-aligned sensors and software-preconfigured coordinate relationships, allowing users to begin surveying in under five minutes. With up to 512 beams, a 143° swath, and sub-centimeter depth accuracy, it delivers exceptional mapping fidelity across reservoirs, lakes, and inland waterways. Plug-and-play connectivity, reduced heat output, and minimal spatial footprint make it an ideal tool for USV-based hydrographic missions.
