APACHE 3 Pro

The Apache 3 Pro is an advanced, compact USV designed for autonomous bathymetric surveys in shallow waters. Featuring a double-layered, all-carbon fiber hull, it offers enhanced durability and is impact-resistant and unsinkable. The vessel’s IP67-rated dust and waterproofing ensures the protection of onboard instrumentation in various operating conditions. With a top speed of up to 7 m/s, the Apache 3 Pro can perform accurate measurements even in rivers with strong currents. Its professional-grade GNSS RTK combined with inertial navigation provides high-accuracy measurements, maintaining reliable data collection even during temporary GNSS signal interruptions. The built-in CHCNAV D270 echosounder delivers precise depth measurements, with real-time correction for water sound velocity based on temperature.
