APACHE 4

The Apache 4 is a versatile USV optimized for hydrographic and bathymetric surveys, supporting a range of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and compact multi-beam systems. Its shallow draft, high accuracy, and stable hovering capabilities make it ideal for measuring water flow velocity and discharge in various aquatic environments. The Apache 4’s lightweight design (13 kg) allows for single-operator deployment, facilitating effortless site management and transportation. Integrated GNSS+IMU technology provides reliable positioning and heading data, enhancing survey precision even under bridges or in areas with GNSS signal obstructions. Additionally, the built-in single-beam echosounder verifies ADCP bottom-tracking data, extending the sounding range and ensuring data reliability.
