The Apache6 USV is a fully integrated solution for 3D bathymetric survey, underwater object positioning, offshore construction, underwater archaeology and wreck rescue. A high-performance dual-propeller system delivers a stable cruise speed of up to 2.5 m/s, with manual remote control over distances beyond 2 km. Optimised for NORBIT multibeam echo sounders, it reduces survey time and outputs high-resolution data for the most demanding marine projects.
- Turnkey multibeam echo-sounder USV
- Lightweight two-operator deployment
- High-performance triple-hulled vessel
- Optimised for NORBIT iWBMS series
- Optional iLiDAR terrestrial mapping
- Up to 2.5 m/s cruise, 2 km+ control
Why the CHCNAV Apache6 USV
Lightweight for easy deployment
A lightweight design allows two operators to cope with most remote deployment conditions.
High-performance triple-hulled vessel
Dual detachable floating bodies keep the hull balanced even in rapid currents, and removing them allows operation in shoals, channels and shallow rivers without running aground.
Optimised for NORBIT multibeam
The design is optimised for the NORBIT iWBMSe, iWBMS and iWBMSh-STX series, offering high-end performance for high-resolution bathymetry.
Optional terrestrial mapping laser
The optional NORBIT iLiDAR sensor collects up to 300,000 points per second at 30 x 360 degree coverage for a combined marine and terrestrial 3D survey in a single pass.
