CHCNAV APACHE 4 PRO
Hydrographic and Bathymetric Surveys USV
Rugged Hull Design - Constructed with high-strength, high-modulus carbon fiber and HPT one-piece molding technology, the hull achieves a strength of up to 10 MPa, significantly enhancing its collision resistance. The motors are equipped with mesh covers, reducing the risk of deformation upon impact.
Anti-Entanglement Design - The APACHE 4 Pro features a titanium alloy mesh cover combined with hybrid water pressure conversion technology, significantly reducing the risk of entanglement by aquatic vegetation. If the motor does become entangled, the system triggers a software alarm to help ensure motor safety.
Versatile Instrumentation Compatibility - With a 50 kg payload capacity and a 24 cm central access shaft, the APACHE 4 Pro supports ADCPs such as the CHCNAV RiverStar Series, M9, RiverPro, and RioGrande. It also accommodates the CHCNAV HQ-400 multibeam echo sounder, side-scan sonar, and water quality monitors end-to-end survey solutions.
Advanced Echosounder - The APACHE 4 Pro features high-sensitivity, anti-interference transducers combined with residual vibration elimination technology. Its advanced bathymetric algorithms support adaptive parameter adjustment, enabling reliable performance in complex underwater terrain and diverse water environments.
Smart Controller - The APACHE 4 Pro features an Android remote control that ensures reliable hydrographic and bathymetric survey operations. With both 4G and 2.4 GHz connectivity, it enables real-time monitoring and seamless vessel control. The EasySail app supports route planning, real-time data and video feedback, data collection, and post-processing.
Automated SVP Measurement - The APACHE 4 Pro supports an optional automatic sound velocity profiler kit, which can be controlled via the remote controller. The kit can be installed or removed in under one minute, providing a complete multibeam echo sounder solution for the USV.
HIGHLIGHTS
The APACHE 4 Pro is a versatile Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) designed to support a wide range of hydrological survey tasks. It is compatible with various mainstream Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) and also supports the CHCNAV HQ-400 Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) for underwater bathymetric surveys. The platform can be customized to carry water quality meters, side-scan sonar, and more.
