Innovative Unmanned Surface Vessels: Hydronalix’s Cutting-Edge Solutions

Hydronalix stands at the forefront of unmanned surface vessel (USV) technology and Safety, Security & Rescue Robotics (SSRR). In collaboration with Unmanned Systems Technology (UST), they showcase their advanced marine robotics capabilities. The ‘Silver’ profile emphasizes the diverse applications of their platforms, which span defense, law enforcement, emergency response, scientific exploration, and commercial industries.

AMY: A Versatile unmanned Surface Vessel

AMY is a compact,multi-functional USV crafted from a robust yet lightweight carbon fiber hull,featuring a high-efficiency planing design. It is powered by dual hybrid fuel-injected 4 kW electric jet drives, enabling it to achieve speeds of up to 16 knots.

This adaptable platform can accommodate various payloads,such as X-band radars,side-scan sonars,and downward imaging sonars. With high-bandwidth Inmarsat SATCOM, it ensures reliable long-range interaction and control. Its low-dielectric structure facilitates the installation of internal antennas.

NIX: High-Speed Performance and Endurance

NIX is engineered for high-speed, long-endurance missions, featuring a durable M-shaped carbon fiber hull that provides stability at high velocities while minimizing wake. Its dual hybrid fuel-injected electric engine generates 3 kW of power, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 20 knots and sustain missions for up to 24 hours with a 40 kg payload.

This USV can be outfitted with an optional EO/IR stabilized camera gimbal, side-scan and downward imaging sonars, as well as NOAA-certified weather sensors. Its low-dielectric design supports the mounting of internal antennas.

EMILY: The Lifesaving Water Rescue Robot

EMILY,or Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard,is a portable water rescue robot designed for beach and ocean operations. Weighing only 26 lbs, this battery-operated USV boasts a full-power runtime of 14 minutes and can reach speeds of 23 mph.

Engineered for lifesaving missions, EMILY features user-friendly handles, an eight-foot perimeter grab rope, and a tall flag for enhanced visibility.It can operate at full speed for distances up to 5 miles or 6 miles at reduced speeds. The device is controlled via a 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping transmitter, ensuring intuitive operation.

MOBE: Specialized for Man overboard Situations

The MOBE (man Overboard EMILY) variant is specifically designed for deployment from vessels. It can achieve a top speed of 18 mph and operate at full power for up to 18 minutes. The included 2000-foot rescue reel simplifies the retrieval process.

built for maritime environments, MOBE is equipped with LED navigation lights and a powerful headlight for nighttime visibility. Essential features for rescue operations include easy grip handles, an eight-foot perimeter grab rope, and a long flag for maximum visibility.

SWRE: Optimized for Swift Water Rescues

SWRE (Swift Water EMILY) is tailored for rescue missions in flood-prone, river, and fast-flowing environments. It can reach speeds of 25 mph and operate at full power for up to 6 minutes. Optional rescue reels of 800 or 2000 feet ensure secure retrieval.

This vessel is equipped with waterproof two-way VHF marine radios and can deliver helmets and life jackets to those in need. Luminous LED navigation lights enhance visibility for both rescuers and bystanders.

Sonar EMILY: Advanced Imaging for Rescue Operations

The sonar EMILY USV employs both side-scan and downward-facing sonar technology to capture high-resolution images for locating drowning victims, submerged vehicles, and sunken boats. The imaging transducers are strategically mounted above the keel, allowing the vessel to navigate over obstacles without sustaining damage.

This electrically powered surface vehicle can reach speeds of 18 mph and can be equipped with either a single or dual battery pack, providing mission durations ranging from 1.5 to 3 hours or 3 to 6 hours (at an average speed of 2 mph).
