Available Instrumentation
APPLICATIONS
ADCP section velocity measurement
Traditional cross-section measurement requires the use of bridges to measure fixed cross-sections, or renting manned boats to measure on river cross-sections. However,the use of unmanned boats equipped with corresponding ADCP device for fully automatic measurement, which does not require being limited to fixed locations or manual measurement.With the help of high-precision navigation system, as traighter cross-section measurement line can be achieved than manual measurement,ensuring that each measurement is on the same cross-section measurement line,greatly improving data accuracy;
Mapping of underwater topography and geomorphology
The unmanned boat equipped with a small-size and lightweight single-beam echo sounder, which has strong maneuverability. You can start the deployment operation as soon as you arrive at the site. Planning the route and set it automatically pilot according to the terrain mapping scale,and detect real-time water depth data and bottom elevation. Using the USV can effectively solve the pain points of traditional manual aboat rental,installation, debugging, and measurement affected by terrain conditions
