Dual-frequency echo sounder UAV ECHOSOUNDER

single-beam

High-precision single-beam, multi-frequency echosounder for drone-based bathymetric surveys Novatest S.r.l. is pleased to introduce the UAV Echosounder, an advanced aerial bathymetry solution that integrates the multi-frequency Echologger ECT-D052S echosounder (or other compatible models) on DJI UAV drones. This cutting-edge technology enables precise hydrographic surveys in hard-to-reach areas, optimizing operational time and costs. Additionally, Novatest S.r.l. offers a step-by-step integration service of the bathymetric sensor on the customer’s drone, along with technical staff training, ensuring perfect compatibility and maximum performance. Key Features of the ECT-D052 Echosounder: - Dual Frequency: Operates simultaneously at 50 kHz and 200 kHz, allowing effective penetration of soft sediments to identify hard substrates and obtain detailed seabed classification. - Ultra-Compact Design: With dimensions of Ø74 mm x 90 mm in length and a weight of 460 g, the ECT-D052 is easily integrable on drones and autonomous vehicles, facilitating operations in complex environments. - Versatile Interface: Supports USB 2.0 and serial (RS-232, RS-485) connections, ensuring extensive compatibility with various data acquisition systems and hydrographic software such as Hypack and HydroMagic. - Integrated Sensors: Equipped with a bi-axial inclinometer with a resolution of 0.1°, it enables automatic drone attitude compensation, ensuring accurate measurements even in dynamic operational conditions. - Wide Operational Range: Capable of measuring depths from 0.5 m up to 200 m, adapting to various marine seabed survey needs.
