The APACHE 6 is an autonomous Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) developed for high-precision 3D bathymetric mapping, underwater object localization, and offshore construction projects. Its tri-hull configuration with detachable side floats delivers exceptional stability in turbulent flow conditions, ensuring reliable multibeam survey performance in rivers, ports, and coastal zones. The 15 kg hull supports up to 60 kg of payload, accommodating multibeam echosounders, LiDAR scanners, and optional sound velocity profiling systems for comprehensive hydrographic data acquisition.
A dual-propeller propulsion system with intelligent rotating blades enables precise maneuvering with a turning radius of just two meters and a top speed of 6 m/s. Operated via an Android-based control interface, the APACHE 6 supports autonomous and manual operation, providing real-time mission planning, vessel telemetry, and data monitoring. With integrated GNSS and IMU positioning and a shallow draft of 8.6 cm, it offers a robust platform for dredging surveys, port inspections, and inland water mapping applications.
