Professional, portable, and autonomous USV platform for hydrographic surveys

Seafloor HyDrone

The HyDrone™ 4.5 Generation is a portable, single-person, catamaran-type uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) specifically designed for professional hydrographic and bathymetric survey applications. Its lightweight design, wide profile, and watertight construction provide exceptional stability, even in demanding operating conditions.

Re-engineered for increased capacity and efficiency, the HyDrone™ 4.5 incorporates an improved battery system that allows for longer missions, full servo configuration, and a tool-free assembly system that significantly reduces setup and dismantling times in the field. Thanks to its optimized electronics, heavy-duty marine components, and remote and autonomous navigation options, the HyDrone™ 4.5 delivers results comparable to larger, more expensive hydrographic systems, with greater flexibility and ease of use.
