Multi-sensor USV HydroBoat 1200 GEN2

bathymetric monitoringautonomousfor hydrographic surveying

Product overview
The HydroBoat 1200 GEN2 is Satlab’s compact, multi‑functional USV designed for hydrographic and environmental surveys. It integrates with HydroBeam M2 multibeam echosounders, ADCPs, side‑scan sonars and water quality sensors. The platform includes a built‑in single‑beam echosounder, a 1.05 m hull length and hot‑swappable single/dual batteries to support extended mission profiles.

Control system
Smart automatic operation with onboard data storage, GNSS & SBES data fusion and a GNSS+IMU suite for stable positioning. Built‑in 4G modem enables long‑range telemetry and remote supervision.

Software
SLHydro USV Android app for intelligent route planning, automated multi‑type data acquisition (single‑beam, multibeam, ADCP), full safety functions and real‑time camera monitoring.

Hardware
Compact 1050 mm / 29 kg twin‑hull design with IP67 rating. Dual battery option with hot‑swap capability (dual batteries >4 h runtime depending on payload), millimeter‑wave radar obstacle avoidance and anti‑tangle propellers for reliable operations in cluttered waterways.

Payload
Supports up to 40 kg payload; compatible with HydroBeam M2 multibeam echosounder, dual‑frequency echosounders, multi‑beam systems, side‑scan sonar, multi‑brand ADCPs and water quality monitors.
