CHCNAV Apache6 USV

The CHCNAV Apache6 USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) is a cutting-edge, fully integrated solution designed for conducting 3D bathymetric surveys, underwater object positioning, offshore construction, underwater archaeology, and rescue missions. Built around a triple-hull vessel design, the Apache6 is optimized for stability and high precision in challenging marine environments, making it a versatile and powerful tool for hydrographic professionals.

This USV is equipped with a high-performance dual-propeller system that ensures stable and consistent automatic cruising speeds of up to 7.6 feet per second (2.5 meters per second). The Apache6 offers both autonomous and manual control modes. In autonomous mode, it follows a predefined path with straight-line technology, while in manual mode, it can be operated via a remote control panel with a range of up to 2 kilometers.

One of its key features is the integration with the Norbit™ multibeam echosounder, which allows for high-resolution 3D underwater mapping. The echosounder provides detailed and accurate measurements, making it ideal for offshore projects that demand precise data. Additionally, the Apache6 can be equipped with a terrestrial mapping laser sensor, capable of collecting up to 300,000 points per second for combined land and marine survey tasks.

The Apache6 is designed for efficiency, reducing survey time and improving work productivity by automating complex tasks and delivering high-quality results. The rugged construction ensures it can handle adverse weather conditions, currents, and rough environments while maintaining optimal performance.

With its compact and portable design, the Apache6 is easy to transport and deploy, making it the perfect tool for hydrographic surveyors, offshore engineers, and marine archaeologists who need a reliable, high-performance solution for accurate data collection in demanding marine settings.
