The BX-USV represents a sleek adn lightweight autonomous surface vessel, offering an economical and eco-kind alternative for scenarios were manned vessels are either impractical, unsafe, or needless. With a payload capacity of 10 kg, it presents nearly endless customization possibilities, allowing for modifications by AGISTAR or the end-user to suit a diverse range of applications.
This vessel can be powered by standard 12Ah lithium batteries for regular operations or upgraded to 40Ah batteries for extended missions lasting over two hours. Its two external culvert thrusters are strategically placed flush with the hull’s underside, minimizing the risk of collisions and entanglement with aquatic vegetation. The system employs a 2.4 GHz communication link, ensuring dependable long-range remote control and data transfer, while also accommodating Bluetooth and wired connections. The integrated u-blox GNSS receiver provides static positioning accuracy of 3 meters and dynamic positioning accuracy of 1 meter.
Designed with ample dry compartments for electronics and payload integration, the BX-USV features openings for connectors and cables. It can be outfitted with a variety of sensors and equipment, such as automatic sampling devices, water quality monitoring tools, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (adcps), side scan sonars, and more.
This adaptable USV is well-suited for numerous applications, including:
- Collection of scientific data
- Hydrographic surveys
- Surveillance of coastal areas and harbors
- Border security operations
- Transporting essential cargo like food, medical supplies, and lifebuoys
- Launching drones from aquatic environments
- Search and rescue missions
- Disaster response and flood evaluations
