CHCNAV Apache3 Pro USV

CHCNAV Apache3 Pro USV | COMPACT HYDROGRAPHIC DRONE

The CHCNAV APACHE3 PRO is a professional unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed for high-precision bathymetric surveys in shallow waters. Its lightweight, compact build and advanced navigation systems make it ideal for marine surveys and construction projects. With a durable carbon fiber hull, GNSS RTK accuracy, and advanced obstacle avoidance, it excels in challenging environments. The integrated D270 echosounder ensures precise depth measurements, making the CHCNAV APACHE3 PRO a reliable choice for high-resolution mapping and data collection.

Key Features:

Millimeter-Wave Obstacle Avoidance:

• The APACHE3 PRO is equipped with a millimeter-wave obstacle avoidance system that detects obstacles within a 110° angle. This feature allows the USV to autonomously navigate around obstacles, reducing the risk of collision and ensuring safe operations even in complex environments.

Lightweight and Robust Design:

• Weighing only 10 kg (excluding sensors), the APACHE3 PRO is built with macromolecular polyester carbon fiber and Kevlar glass fiber. This lightweight yet durable construction enables easy transport and deployment by a single operator, while its robust design ensures resistance to impacts and unsinkability.

Shallow Water Operation:

• The USV’s semi-recessed motor and innovative internal rotor design allow it to navigate in shallow waters with ease. This design reduces water resistance and minimizes the risk of damage, making the APACHE3 PRO suitable for diverse water conditions.

High Accuracy Under Bridges:

• The APACHE3 PRO maintains high accuracy even when navigating under bridges, where GNSS signals might be lost. Its GNSS RTK + inertial navigation system ensures precise position and attitude data, compensating for any hull sway and eliminating data outliers.

Real-Time Data Monitoring:

• The USV features a combination of SIM and network bridge communication systems with automatic switching capabilities. This ensures reliable data transmission and cloud-based remote monitoring allows for real-time tracking of the USV’s status, enhancing control and security during operations.

Integrated Single-Beam Echosounder:

• The built-in D270 single-beam echosounder offers accurate bathymetric surveys, with real-time water temperature correction ensuring precise depth measurements.

The CHCNAV APACHE3 PRO is a versatile USV designed for professional bathymetric surveys in various water conditions. Its lightweight and durable construction, combined with advanced navigation and obstacle avoidance features, make it ideal for remote deployment in challenging environments. Whether conducting marine surveys, construction projects, or environmental monitoring, the APACHE 3 PRO provides a comprehensive solution for collecting high-precision data efficiently and safely.
