Hydrographic and Bathymetric Surveys USV
The APACHE 4 USV is optimized for hydrological studies, supporting a range of ADCP and compact multi-beam systems. Its shallow draft, high accuracy, and stable hovering make it ideal for measuring water flow velocity and discharge. Compact and easy to handle, it ensures effortless site management, safe launches, and convenient car transport. With integrated GNSS+IMU technology, it provides reliable positioning and heading, enhancing ADCP and autopilot functionality for precise water flow analysis.

FEATURES
Integrated adaptive water flow straightline and hovering technology.
The automatic control system enables the APACHE 4 to navigate in a straight line along the cross-section, adapting safely to changes in flow, turbulence and other conditions. Stable positioning and heading, provided by the GNSS+IMU module, enable precise navigation. Hovering positioning technology enables the APACHE 4 to maintain a stable position in turbulent waters at the start and end points of ADCP observation, improving the accuracy of flow estimation.
