The M40P long-endurance multi-function USV is designed to carry a wide range of equipment for bathymetry, seabed mapping, and geological hazard inspection. Supported payloads include single-beam echo sounder, multibeam echo sounder, ADCP, 3D LiDAR scanner, side scan sonar, forward-looking sonar, water quality sonde, and sub-bottom profiler. Piloted by an autonomous navigation algorithm, the M40P can carry out round-the-clock inspection according to preset routes, reducing both personnel workload and safety risks. Its catamaran hull design provides stable performance in turbulent waves, reducing swaying and spray foam and maintaining a stable working condition for acoustic equipment.
Powered by a diesel generator, the M40P has a single operating lifetime of up to 24 hours and can operate continuously for weeks through refueling. The generator can be turned off during surveying to provide a quiet, zero-emission operating environment to support data accuracy. Twin engines and twin propellers, combined with the catamaran configuration, enhance maneuverability when navigating close to foundation constructions for zoom-in inspection, while high-precision positioning and advanced navigation control algorithms reduce collision risk.
Multiple USVs can be grouped into a fleet to navigate the same route while conducting different inspections, with the fleet piloted by a single workstation to support large-scale investigations across multiple dimensions, reducing labor costs and improving operational efficiency.
