In this video, SatLab Geosolutions highlights the benefits of the HydroBoat 1500, an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed to conduct topographic surveys of underwater terrain in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.
The HydroBoat 1500 is equipped with the HydroBeam M4 Portable Multi-beam Echo Sounder system for this purpose. It also features a high-precision GNSS receiver and IMU to ensure accurate positioning and orientation, even in environments where satellite signals may be obstructed, achieving sub-meter accuracy.
Its hull is both lightweight and durable, boasting an IP67 waterproof rating, and is fitted with four powerful side-mounted thrusters. This design provides enhanced mobility and adaptability, allowing the USV to efficiently navigate diverse aquatic environments and successfully carry out underwater terrain surveys.
