Hi-Target iBoat BS3 USV – Intelligent Surveying Solution

The Hi-Target iBoat BS3 USV is a highly efficient and intelligent unmanned surface vessel (USV), designed for hydrographic surveys and a variety of water-related applications. Lightweight and portable, this vessel is perfect for use in environments like rivers, lakes, reservoirs, harbors, and even rough waters. Made from Kevlar and carbon fiber, the BS3 offers high durability and resistance to impact, ensuring it withstands tough conditions while maintaining smooth and stable navigation.

Equipped with RTK GNSS, single-beam echo sounders, and advanced autopilot systems, the BS3 USV delivers high accuracy, real-time data collection, and fast post-processing. It is ideal for hydrographic surveying, bathymetry, current measurement, and other water-related tasks.

Key Features

• Lightweight and Portable Design
  The iBoat BS3 is incredibly lightweight at only 6 kg (without battery), making it easy to transport and deploy in the field. The compact design allows for easy placement in the trunk of a car, and its trimaran hull ensures stable sailing even in choppy waters.
• Durable Construction
  Built with Kevlar and carbon fiber, the BS3’s hull is highly resistant to impact and wear, providing long-term durability. Its streamlined design ensures low resistance while sailing, contributing to the vessel’s stable and efficient performance in various aquatic environments.
• Autonomous Navigation and Manual Control
  The iBoat BS3 can operate autonomously, following pre-programmed routes, or be manually controlled via a 7-inch touch screen controller with an Android system. The controller allows for real-time adjustments, with a transmission range of up to 2 km (optional 3 km).
• Real-Time Data Collection and Transmission
  The vessel is equipped with Hi-MAX sounder software, enabling real-time data collection, coordinate conversion, and depth measurements. The system supports post-processing with simulated and digital depth data combined for easier detection of true depth. The vessel transmits data in real-time to a base station using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or UHF radio.
• Advanced Propulsion System
  Featuring removable modular culvert-design propellers, the BS3’s propulsion system prevents aquatic plants and fishing nets from tangling with the propeller. The modular design also allows for easy removal and replacement of the propellers.
• Obstacle Avoidance and Safety Features
  The BS3 is equipped with 360° PTZ camera and sensors that enable the vessel to detect obstacles in its path and avoid collisions. The system also features auto-return functionality, allowing the vessel to automatically return to its base if the battery is low or if signal is lost.
• Long Battery Life
  Powered by a brushless DC motor, the BS3 provides up to 4 hours of operation at a speed of 2 m/s, making it suitable for extended surveys. The battery pack can be upgraded to extend the battery life further.
