The HydroBoat 990 from developer SatLab Geosolutions is a hydrographic survey USV designed for efficiency and ease of use. The Android-powered system integrates a GNSS receiver with a dual-antenna, a bathymetry system, a communication system, and an autonomous navigation system for accurate positioning and seamless operation.
Equipped with a millimeter-wave radar, the HydroBoat 990 detects obstacles in real-time, while the built-in INS ensures precise navigation through tunnels and under bridges. The hover function aids stability during automatic sailing, and real-time DAP logging offers configurable monitoring options. Water column measurement operates in auto or manual mode, providing reliable depth data accessible in multiple formats.
Designed for durability, the HydroBoat 990 features a reinforced etching strip for component protection, a double-hull structure made from Kevlar and carbon fiber, and a specialized design that stabilizes the vessel while minimizing bow rise. Combining high-performance sensing technology with energy-efficient operation, it ensures stability and safety in extreme conditions, making it an ideal partner for bathymetric surveys.
