Apache 4 Pro
The APACHE 4 Pro is a versatile Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) designed to support a wide range of hydrological survey tasks. It is compatible with various mainstream Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and also supports the CHCNAV HQ-400 Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) for underwater bathymetric surveys. The platform can be customized to carry water quality meters, side-scan sonar, and more.
Features
​
-
Rugged Hull Design - Constructed with high-strength carbon fiber and HPT one-piece molding technology, the hull has a strength up to 10Mpa for enhanced collision resistance.
-
Anti-Entanglement Design - titanium allow mesh guards and a hybrid water pressure conversion system that reduce risk of vegetation entanglement. Alert system informs operators and protects equipment.
-
Versatile Instrumentation Compatibility - A 50Kg payload rating and 24 cm Access shaft supports ADCPs such as RiverStar M9, RiverPro, and RioGrande. This platform also accommodates our HQ-400 Multibeam echosounder, side-scan sonar and water quality monitors.
-
Advanced Echosounder - The 4 Pro employs high-sensitivity, anti-interference transducers with adaptive algorithms to adjust to variable water terrains and conditions for high resolution data in any scenario.
-
Smart Controller - An Android remote control ensures reliable hydrographic survey operations. 4G and 2.4 GHz connectivity enables real time monitoring and seamless control. the EasySail app supports route planning, real-time data/video feedback, data collection, and post processing.
-
Automated SVP Measurement - Optional support for a sound velocity profiler kit, which can be controlled via the remote controller. The kit can be installed or removed in under one minute to provide a complete multibeam solution for this USV.
