Uscan-USV-8  Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Professional-Grade & Full-Functional Platform

Payload Bay / L 1.28m / 12 kg (hull only)

Engineered to tackle challenges of capability and comprehensiveness, UscanUSV-8 is serving as a high-performance aquatic platform for specialized projects that demand robust data fusion and extended operational endurance.

Featuring an optimized 1.3-meter M-shaped hull, the UscanUSV-8 platform offers superior payload capacity and navigation stability, enabling the simultaneous integration of multiple sensors such as multibeam echosounders, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), and sub-bottom profiler (SBP), side-scan sonar (SSS), functioning as a mobile laboratory on water surface.

Designed for nearshore operations within 200-meter water depths, UscanUSV-8 possesses a high resistance rating of wind and wave, maintaining stable operation and safe navigation even under complex work conditions to ensure efficient mission completion. With its strong compatibility, all-weather operational capability, and high reliability, UscanUSV-8 stands as the ideal solution for large-scale and complex surveying and monitoring tasks
