Introducing SatLab’s HydroBoat 1200MB, an all-in-one unmanned surface vessel (USV) solution designed for efficient geospatial reconnaissance and underwater assessment.
This compact, high-performance platform integrates advanced multibeam sonar with an intelligent Unmanned Surface Vessel design, delivering fast, reliable results with minimal setup.
The HydroBoat 1200MB is ready to survey in under five minutes, requiring no calibration or complex setup procedures. It significantly enhances coverage efficiency by mapping up to 7.5 times more area than traditional single-beam systems, thanks to its powerful 512-beam HydroBeam M2 multibeam echosounder (MBES).
Operators can stream real-time 3D point cloud data and side scan imaging directly to a tablet, remote control unit, or laptop, enabling seamless collaboration and remote operations. The vessel incorporates SPIN technology for real-time sound velocity correction, eliminating the need for a separate sound velocity profiler (SVP).
Its compact and lightweight form factor allows for easy transportation, quick redeployment, and smooth transitions between missions. By removing the need for crewed boats, reducing manpower requirements, and minimizing post-processing time, the HydroBoat 1200MB can cut operational costs by up to 50%.
Engineered for versatility, it excels in complex environments such as rivers, underwater ridges, terraced landscapes, and vertical structures. The system meets or exceeds international hydrographic standards set by the IHO, CHS, and USACE.
With its integrated multibeam sonar, intelligent USV platform, and user-friendly design, the HydroBoat 1200MB is an ideal solution for underwater mapping, scour inspection, and infrastructure monitoring, delivering performance that is fast, accurate, and hassle-free.
