Designed for Surveyors Who Demand Reliability in Remote and Rugged Environments

 

Seafloor Systems has introduced a significant advancement in hydrographic surveying with the launch of the HyDrone 4.5, the latest evolution in its line of uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs). Purpose-built for inland and nearshore environments, the HyDrone 4.5 combines rugged portability with enhanced performance, making it an ideal choice for surveyors working in challenging or remote aquatic settings. With both, remotely controlled and autonomous navigation suites available, this next-generation USV features a suite of upgrades that elevate its capabilities well beyond its predecessor.

 

Offering extended mission endurance, the 4.5 features an upgraded battery system that supports longer survey missions and faster charging—ideal for demanding field operations where time, efficiency, and reliability are critical. This enhancement allows survey teams to maximise productivity in remote or time-sensitive environments, reducing downtime and enabling continuous data collection across challenging terrain.

 

Designed with field efficiency in mind, the HyDrone 4.5 features a tool-less assembly system that simplifies setup and teardown. This user-friendly design allows operators to deploy the USV quickly, without the need for specialised equipment or technical expertise. Whether you’re working in tight urban waterways or rugged coastal zones, the streamlined assembly process ensures you can get on the water and start collecting data with minimal delay.

 

Flexibility is a cornerstone of the HyDrone 4.5’s design, and its full servo compatibility opens the door to a wide range of sensor integrations and payload configurations. This adaptability allows users to tailor the platform to specific project requirements, whether it’s bathymetric mapping, water quality monitoring, or infrastructure inspection. By supporting diverse instrumentation, the HyDrone 4.5 empowers professionals to tackle complex survey tasks with precision and confidence.

 

The HyDrone 4.5 is equipped with advanced onboard electronics that significantly elevate its performance in the field. These smart systems enhance data acquisition by enabling precise, real-time collection and transmission of survey information, ensuring that operators receive accurate and actionable insights during every mission. The improved electronics boost overall reliability, reducing the risk of system failures and ensuring consistent operation in demanding environments. With intuitive control interfaces and seamless integration with industry-standard software and sensors, the HyDrone 4.5 delivers professional-grade results that meet the rigorous standards of hydrographic surveyors and marine engineers alike.

 

These enhancements position the HyDrone 4.5 as a powerful, user-friendly platform for hydrographic surveyors seeking efficiency without compromising capability.
