The Portable Hydrography Survey Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for Rivers, Lakes & Reservoirs

The Uscan-USV-6S is an ultra-compact hydrographic survey USV engineered for rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Equipped with a tri-frequency side-scan sonar and echosounder, it delivers simultaneous bathymetric profiling and high-resolution underwater imaging. Portable enough to fit in an SUV trunk for single-person rapid deployment. As a 1-meter surface platform coming standard with the TFSS-4510 Tri-Frequency Side-Scan Sonar, it seamlessly synchronizes high-resolution underwater imaging with precise bathymetry.


Uscan-USV-6S Unmanned Surface Vehicle

Key Features:

  •  Tri-Frequency Total Scan: Standard with TFSS-4510 Tri-Frequency Side-Scan & Bottom-Scan Sonar and 200KHz single-beam echosounder; delivers synchronized depth profiling and high-resolution bottom imaging in a single pass.
  • Inland Water Optimization: 0.98m M-shape Carbon Fiber & Kevlar hull with semi-embedded ducted thrusters; engineered for weed-resistance and high stability in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
  • Single-Person Portability: Hull weight is 7.0 kg (empty) / 20.4 kg (standard configuration, excluding batteries); fits into standard SUV trunks for rapid single-person deployment and launch.
  • Automated Fail-Safe Flight: Powered by iSail software for autonomous route planning and automatic obstacle avoidance (0.1–20m range); features auto-return on low battery, signal loss, or shallow water.
  • Modular Sensor Expansion: Open SDK with standard interfaces ( 2×RJ45; 2×RS232; 2×RS485); supports optional hardware integration of water quality sensors, spectrometers, gas detectors, and acoustic alarms.
  • Night Vision Equipped: Fitted with night-vision cameras to ensure continuous round-the-clock visual observation and field operation in low-light or nighttime environments.
