The APACHE 3 Pro is a lightweight and compact USV (uncrewed surface vessel) designed for professional bathymetric survey applications in challenging waters. Capable of full autonomy and requiring only a single operator, the vessel features a built-in single-beam echo sounder as well as an obstacle avoidance system with a 110-degree field of view based on millimeter-wave RF technology.
The vessel’s IP67-rated double-layer carbon fiber construction provides excellent impact resistance, and the innovative semi-recessed motor and internal rotor design have resulted in improved protection and a shallower draft, enhancing the ability to navigate in different water depths.
The APACHE 3 Pro utilizes tightly-integrated inertial navigation and RTK GNSS capabilities, ensuring continued high-accuracy measurement and navigation even under bridges and during other GNSS outages. It is capable of utilizing both 2.4GHz RF and cellular 4G connectivity, with automatic switching for uninterrupted communications.
The Apache 3 Pro USV can optionally be provided with water analysis probes that measure parameters such as pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and more.
