CHCNAV Apache 6 Multi-Beam Bathymetric Survey USV - Apache 6

The APACHE 6 is an autonomous USV optimized for high-resolution 3D bathymetric surveys, underwater object localization, and offshore construction. Featuring a dual propeller system, it ensures stable automatic cruising and high operational efficiency. With the ability to operate in android remote control, the APACHE 6 provides flexibility and accuracy for complex marine survey projects.

• Multifunctional USV platform: Perform accurate 3D bathymetric surveys with optional multibeam echosounders and LiDAR scanner. Collect high-resolution data and improve the accuracy of underwater object location and offshore construction.
• Stable Triple-Hulled Vessel The APACHE 6 tri-hull design and detachable side floats offer a stable position and greater adaptability to ensure optimum stability even in fast currents.
• Automated SVP Measurement: The APACHE 6 supports an optional automatic sound velocity profiler kit, which can be controlled via the remote controller. The kit can be installed or removed in under one minute, providing a complete multibeam echo sounder solution for the USV.
• Rotating Propellers: The APACHE 6 utilizes intelligent rotating propeller technology to adjust the direction of water flow. It allows the USV to achieve a turning radius of just 2 meters, making it ideal for operation in narrow waterways. It also enhances the efficiency of multibeam echo sounder bathymetric surveys.
• Smart Remote Control: The Android remote control provides real-time access to vessel status and survey data, eliminating the need for a computer.
