Lightweight single-beam survey vessel

The Oceanscience Z-Boat 1250 is a lightweight USV for single-beam echosounder surveys that can be transported, deployed and operated by a single person.

The easy-to-manoeuvre vessel features an innovative two-thruster propulsion system with no rudder or steering linkages that can reach a top speed of 2.3 m/s (7.5 fps).

The vessel's integrated echosounder has an embedded transceiver with digital signal processing, and outputs depth and temperature in NMEA 0183 format.
