DUS CV compact USV platform COMPACT ELECTRIC USV FOR INLAND AND RIVER SURVEY OPERATIONS Designed for professional data acquisition in shallow, confined and hard-to-access waters, the DUS CV compact USV platform combines autonomous navigation with flexible payload integration. Its shallow-draft, low-profile 1.90 m hull and powerful propulsion support autonomous navigation in floodplains, groin fields, creeks and other turbulent or overgrown survey areas. The standardized vessel architecture supports reliable hydrographic, environmental and asset management data acquisition and modular payload capability provides the integration of hull-mounted ADCP, 2D/3D side-scan sonar, multi-/single beam echo sounders, SBP, and water quality data collection and sampling tools. KEY FEATURES Precise control in confined waters The patented USV Dynamic Positioning system enables stable, hands-free stationkeeping and precise manoeuvring near shorelines and in confined areas. Rugged & protective design Impact-resistant single-lid HDPE hull, inspired by military-grade flight cases, protects vessel, payloads and integrated antennas in harsh conditions. Ease of use & reliability Central access to payload and vessel systems; industrial components ensure reliability and load bearing the ready-to-go configuration minimizes setup time.
