Introducing the APACHE6 USV: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Marine Surveys

The APACHE6 Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) represents a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of 3D bathymetric surveys, underwater object localization, offshore construction, underwater archaeology, and wreck recovery operations. This innovative vessel is equipped wiht a robust dual propeller system, enabling it to maintain a steady automatic cruising speed of up to 2.5 m/s (7.6 fps). For those who prefer manual operation, the APACHE6 can be controlled remotely from a distance of up to 2 kilometers.

By utilizing the APACHE6, users can considerably reduce survey durations, enhance operational efficiency, and generate high-resolution data that meets the rigorous demands of contemporary marine survey projects.

Enhanced Features and Customization Options

Beyond its standard configuration—which includes a remote-controlled vessel, a single beam echosounder, and a GNSS IMU sensor—the APACHE6 USV can be further enhanced with a NORBIT multibeam echosounder and a LIDAR scanner. Additionally, for improved underwater detection capabilities, the USV can be outfitted with a third-party fish finder transducer, allowing for effective differentiation between fish and other underwater debris. The data collected can be invaluable for researchers and engineers alike.
