The SONOBOT unmanned surface vehicle is a platform for planning and executing a hydrographic survey, delivering accurate geo-referenced bathymetric measurements and high-quality imagery with minimum transport, launch and recovery efforts.
The concept of SONOBOT, say Evo Logistics, is to offer the end user a modular system with several configuration options and deliver a ready-to-use USV with all the on-board equipment installed and ready for immediate action.
The autonomous SONOBOT was developed to provide surveyors, service providers and researchers with a smart lightweight solution for hydrographic surveys and other applications in harbors and inland waters.
According to the company:
“Specifically for the SONOBOT, EvoLogics utilised the patented S2C broadband communication technology to build an advanced single-beam echo sounder, capable of delivering precise and accurate depth measurements even in very shallow waters.
The side-scan sonar, GNSS system and other equipment options were pre-selected among commercial off-the-shelf products to best fit the SONOBOT platform and offer the user the optimal configuration for his particular requirements.”
