Hydrographic Survey Equipment
Discover cutting-edge solutions from 9 leading global suppliersAGISTAR’s OXR T100 is a compact electric outboard motor that enables remote operation of small vessels, effectively converting them into Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).
When fitted to a zodiac or inflatable boat, the system provides additional payload space and flexibility for mounting multiple instruments to support a variety of survey and monitoring tasks.
Remote Operation and Control
With the OXR T100, research and survey teams can remotely control a small boat at distances of up to 1 kilometer. The motor features an integrated GPS unit that supports an automatic return function for improved operational safety. It provides precise speed and steering control through multiple speed levels and transmits telemetry including battery status, motor current, RPM, and distance traveled. These capabilities allow a standard inflatable boat to operate as a fully unmanned survey platform, reducing crew risk and deployment time.
The stability of an inflatable vessel combined with a remotely operated propulsion system allows users to reconfigure the boat for different survey activities within the same mission. This adaptability offers a broader range of operational uses than a compact purpose-built USV with fixed payload capacity.
Electric Propulsion and Modularity
The OXR T100 delivers 5.44 horsepower and is designed for straightforward operation without requiring specialized training. When installed on a 4-meter boat, the motor provides approximately four hours of continuous operation at maximum speed, with full recharging achievable in a similar period.
For larger vessels or applications demanding higher performance, up to four OXR T100 units can be connected via Bluetooth to increase speed and extend endurance. This modular configuration supports flexible propulsion arrangements tailored to the requirements of research, survey, and recreational operations.
