Visão geral

Compact survey USV from Chinese GNSS maker Hi-Target, controlled from an Android app.

The iBoat BS12 is a small survey boat from Hi-Target, a Guangzhou maker of GNSS and surveying instruments. One person can carry and launch it, then plan and run a bathymetric survey of a lake, reservoir or river from an Android phone. Built-in satellite positioning, a depth sounder, a camera and an obstacle radar make it largely self-contained, and the second-generation model can carry a compact multibeam sonar.

The original BS12 has a carbon-fibre and Kevlar hull, a 6 m/s top speed, integrated GNSS and IMU, a single-beam echo sounder, a 360-degree camera and millimetre-wave obstacle radar, and is run from the Hi-Survey Boat app. The BS12 GEN2 is a 1.05 m, 29 kg double-hulled IP67 boat with a 40 kg payload, 6.5 m/s top speed and about 4 hours per battery at 1.5 m/s, and can carry an iBeam 8140S multibeam with a 0.03-degree INS. The smaller iBoat BS3 is part of the same range. Figures are from Hi-Target marketing material.
