iUSV-8
iUSV-8

The iUSV-8 is an all-round platform for hydrographic surveying and detection. Designed for deep-water, high-precision, and complex professional surveying missions.


It can simultaneously be equipped with advanced sensors such as a multi-beam echosounder and ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), providing you with a comprehensive submarine data solution to tackle the most demanding challenges in marine and inland water scientific research and engineering.


main features
Modular Mission Payloads
Standard single-beam echosounder,with optional sensors such as water quality meters and side-scan sonar, supporting underwater mapping, environmental monitoring, and object detection.
Intelligent Navigation & Control
Equipped with high-precision RTK and proprietary navigation algorithms, ensuring accurate paths, stable posture, and reliable data collection.
Powerful Propulsion & Endurance
High-power anti-clog thrusters ensure strong ropulsion and weed-free operation.
Multiple Safety Mechanisms
Auto-return (low battery or signal loss),obstacle avoidance, and shallow-water protection for safe operation.
Efficient Surveying
Equipped with a single-beam echo sounder, it provides reliable water depth measurements and underwater topographic maps for rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and nearshore areas.
Multi-Tasks Application
Adaptable to various applications,including hydrographic surveying, water environment quality inspections and rapid rescue.
