  • 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
Highlights

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.
