With remotely controlled capabilities, a durable assembly, and a hull-integrated single beam echosounder, this USV brings automation and efficiency to any work site. The USV gains stability from its triple pontoon design and folds into thirds for one-person transport. Its manoeuvrable servo thruster steers the USV into previously unreachable zones with heightened precision and repeatability.
