Apache 6

Multibeam Bathymetric Surveys USV

Advanced Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) with NORBIT Multibeam Echosounder

- an innovative, fully integrated solution for 3D bathymetric surveys, positioning of underwater objects, offshore construction, underwater archaeology and wreck salvage
- built around a triple-hull vessel and optimized for the Norbit™ multibeam echo sounder series
- offers a fully autonomous survey mode, powered by field-proven CHCNAV absolute straight line technology, to follow a predetermined path even in adverse current conditions.
- reduces survey time, improves work efficiency and produces high-resolution data to always meet the requirements of the most demanding marine projects.
- lightweight for easy deployment, weighting only 15 kg without sensors, which allows for two operators to carry out most of remote deployment
- optional terrestrial mapping laser sensor

Apache 6 in Action

Perform accurate 3D bathymetric surveys with optional multibeam echosounders and LiDAR scanner. Collect high-resolution data and improve the accuracy of underwater object location and offshore construction.

Multifunctional USV platform

The APACHE 6 tri-hull design and detachable side floats offer a stable position and greater adaptability to ensure optimum stability even in fast currents.

Stable Triple-Hulled Vessel

The APACHE 6 supports an optional automatic sound velocity profiler kit, which can be controlled via the remote controller. The kit can be installed or removed in under one minute, providing a complete multibeam echo sounder solution for the USV.

Automated SVP Measurement

The APACHE 6 utilizes intelligent rotating propeller technology to adjust the direction of water flow. It allows the USV to achieve a turning radius of just 2 meters, making it ideal for operation in narrow waterways. It also enhances the efficiency of multibeam echo sounder bathymetric surveys.

Rotating Propellers

The Android remote control provides real-time access to vessel status and survey data, eliminating the need for a computer. Its intuitive interface ensures efficient survey operations, while a multi-link communication enables long-distance data transmission for seamless control of the APACHE 6.
