Apache4

Product catalog summary

Overview
The APACHE 4 is an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) designed for hydrographic surveys and construction, particularly in environments where manned boat access is impractical. It integrates advanced navigation and positioning technologies to support Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) systems, offering high navigational accuracy and stable hovering capabilities.

Specifications
The APACHE 4 features a triple-hull design with a maximum payload of 30 kg. It is powered by a brushless DC motor with a maximum speed of 5 m/s and a battery endurance of 2 x 2 hours at 2 m/s. The vessel is equipped with a 360° omnidirectional video system and supports various communication interfaces, including 4G and UHF radio.

Navigation and Control
The USV is equipped with an advanced navigation controller that allows for autonomous operation. It uses GNSS+IMU for positioning, ensuring data availability even during GNSS signal loss. The AutoPlanner and HydroSurvey software suite facilitates mission planning and execution.

Sounding and Data Collection
The built-in single-beam echo sounder provides water depth profile data, enhancing the accuracy of ADCP measurements. The system supports various data formats and communication protocols, ensuring compatibility with most common ADCPs.

Safety and Reliability
The APACHE 4 includes an obstacle avoidance radar system and live video feed for safe operations in challenging conditions. It features an auto-return function in case of low battery or signal loss, and its construction ensures waterproofing and durability.

Applications
This USV is ideal for hydrologists conducting flow and velocity measurements in challenging environments, such as near dam structures or during flood conditions, where safety and data quality are paramount.
