Unmanned Surface Vessel Hydrographic Survey

CEE HydroSystems has supplied single beam echo sounders for unmanned surface vessels (USVs) since 2011, and builds the CEE-USV™ M190: a remotely operated survey boat for hydrographic survey of ponds, tailings dams, reservoirs and rivers where launching a crewed boat is impractical or unsafe.

The CEE-USV™ M190 carries a dual frequency single beam echo sounder and RTK GNSS in a single removable enclosure. Depth and position are logged and sent live to the shore station from up to 2 km away, so the whole survey is run from the bank – turn on the power and start surveying.

Already have a USV? The CEESCOPE LITE™ puts the CEESCOPE™ echo sounder, RTK GNSS receiver and data logger in a slim 9.2 cm IP67 enclosure built for USVs and remote-controlled survey boats, so you are not tied to the sonar or GNSS options offered by the vehicle supplier.

If an OEM data acquisition and telemetry package is needed – for example a non-standard enclosure or a specific vehicle – contact us to discuss how we may be able to help.
