EchoBoat-G2 Survey Boat for Inspection, Asset Protection and SAR Surveys
Seafloor Systems has designed the EchoBoat-G2 unmanned survey vessel (USV) that can execute survey missions via remote control or semi-autonomously, utilising its modified Mission Planner Drone software. With the AutoNav autopilot module, the operator can pre-plan survey waypoints and upload them to the vehicle via radio frequency (RF). The EchoBoat drone will then automatically execute the mission, going from waypoint to waypoint, before returning to base.
Government and private organisations can inspect, secure, and maintain harbours worldwide with the EchoBoat-G2 USV integrated with a Sidescan Sonar, Multibeam sonar system, or real-time 2D/3D imaging sonar. With the EchoBoat- G2 it is possible for Harbour Patrol and Port Police to run regular surveys, impromptu post-storm/event debris mapping, or routine inspection survey missions—all via remote control and Laptop on the dock.
Efficient Survey and Search
Port and harbour management can efficiently and reliably search for sunken vessels, lost tools, objects, and debris, on the bottom. The search for objects, threats, and contraband, attached to walls or vessels, can be located easier and more safely, with the EchoBoat Unmanned Survey Vessel.
Conventional survey boats are expensive to maintain, operate, and often have limited access to specific areas of interest.
The lightweight, portable, multi-payload vehicle comes with lifetime support. It is made from non-corrosive materials and includes efficient dual-DC thrusters and an internal plug-and-play survey deck to seamlessly install a variety of sonar and navigational monitoring equipment. The design offers ease of control, flexibility, and repeatability—allowing Harbour and Port personnel to collect and analyse important data to ensure the safety and security of harbours and ports in their region.
