Autonomous drone boat with camera

Autonomous drone boat with camera is remote controlled by a base-station, it can carry various survey instruments for multiple purpose, such as single beam sounder, multibeam echo sunder, Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), 3D LiDAR scanner, side scan sonar, forward-looking sonar, water quality detector and sub-bottom profiler etc. Navigated by the GNSS positioning system, the drone boat can autonomously conduct pre-programmed multi-purpose surveying missions and send back information, videos and photos in real-time.

This drone boat mainly aims at the application of research survey and data collection of flood situation in river, lake and ocean. It detects flood situation and provides detailed hydrological data and flood warning information for flood control command center. It has the endurance of 200 nautical miles, the distance of video communication can reach 10 kilometers, and the control base station equipped with it can be installed on the shore, patrol vehicle or mother ship. The drone ship can receive all kinds of sensor information by sensors and camera in real time and displaying it on the terminal. It can be remote controlled by operator or autonomous navigation by pre-programmed orders.

In order to ensure the stability of the survey, the drone boat is specially designed a special shroud and wave groove, which can maintain stable navigation in the case of large wind and waves, and has the function of stably completing many tasks such as underwater topographic survey and underwater geomorphologic survey.

It is fully stealthy and has a reflection area of only 0.01 square meters. Even in the wave height of 5 meters, it can still be completely uncaptured by radar.
