HERON

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Heron Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) is designed for rapid prototyping and is adaptable to unique applications and requirements. Its modular and expandable system architecture allows for easy integration of various payloads, including tactical surveillance and environmental sensing.

Specifications: The Heron features rugged construction with enclosed thrusters to protect against weeds and ground contact. It is equipped with weather-rated instruments and an onboard computer accessible via waterproof connectors. The vessel is portable, with dimensions of 1350 x 980 x 320 mm when deployed and 1350 x 560 x 330 mm when stored. It weighs 28 kg and has a rated payload capacity of 10 kg. The maximum speed is 1.7 m/s, with a draught of 120 mm. It operates on a NiMH 14.4V 29Ah battery pack with a 2.5-hour life and an 8-hour recharge time.

Ease of Use: Heron is designed for ease of transport, deployment, and retrieval by a single person without tools, making it user-friendly for field staff.

Technical Capabilities: The Heron supports communication via Ethernet and RS232, and propulsion is provided by an electric water jet. It is equipped with sensors such as a hazard camera, GPS, and IMU, and supports drivers/APIs like ROS, C++, and MOOS-IvP. Control modes include tele-operation, programmable, and GPS navigation.

Applications: Heron is suitable for autonomy research, harbor surveillance, environmental monitoring, and multi-robot systems. It can be equipped with ISR payloads for tactical applications and is ideal for bathymetric surveys and ecosystem assessments.
