Multifunctional Survey Platform:
The Apache 6 supports optional multibeam echosounders and LiDAR scanners simultaneously, enabling high-resolution 3D bathymetric surveys, underwater object detection, and offshore construction support from a single deployment. Configure the payload for the survey - the platform adapts.
Triple-Hull Stability in Fast Currents:
The Apache 6's tri-hull design with detachable side floats provides a wide, stable base that maintains consistent survey positioning even in fast-flowing rivers, tidal zones, and exposed coastal waters. Where a twin-hull vessel would pitch and roll, the Apache 6 holds its line.
Automated Sound Velocity Profiling:
For multibeam echosounder surveys, accurate sound velocity profiling is essential - errors in sound velocity propagate directly into depth accuracy. The Apache 6's optional automatic SVP kit integrates with the remote controller, installs in under one minute, and continuously corrects for water column variations across the survey area.
2-Metre Turning Radius:
Intelligent rotating propeller technology gives the Apache 6 a turning radius of just 2 metres - exceptional for a vessel of this size. This allows tight survey line spacing in port basins, lock approaches, reservoir inlets, and other confined environments where most larger USVs lose efficiency.
Android Remote Control with Long-Range Data Link:
The Android remote controller provides real-time vessel status and survey data without requiring a separate computer. A multi-link communication system supports long-distance data transmission, giving operators clear situational awareness and responsive control even at extended range - essential for large water body surveys and offshore deployments.
