HyDrone™

The HyDrone™ is made from professional grade, water-tight marine components and readily disassembles for ease of transport.
Applications: Inspection / survey of mines, sewage treatment plants, contaminated lakes, and rivers. *Both remotely controlled and autonomous navigation suites available.
