Autonomous survey boat ME120 is a medium sized platform designed for hydrographic survey in harbor and costal area.
With catamaran design and flexible payload for instruments, ME120 is developed to provide surveyors and Service Company with multi-mission work in harbors or inland waters.
Navigation control and real-time data acquisition are easily operated at base station computer.
ME120 is also a universal deployable platform to execute other mission like water quality monitoring and harbor surveillance.
- Mission planning and autonomous survey
- 60Kg/25Kg(ME120/ME70) payload for flexible instrument options
- Applied in river or costal area
- Customizable for various equipment (Muti-parameter probe, CCTV camera, ADCP, Side Scan sonar etc.)
Intelligent collision avoidance The ME120 USV comes with ultrasonic sensors that can detect obstacles 40 meters ahead to avoid collision when in auto-pilot mode.
Operators can observe the water environment through a real-time video feed to better avoid obstacles when operating in manual mode.
