DRONE 1800
Autonomous surface drone

DRONE 1800 is a multi-mission, flexible shallow water Unmanned Surface Vehicle and easy to transport and deploy.
It is a multi-sensor platform which includes a single or multibeam echosounder, a winch to collect data into the water column until 30 meters and video links with deep learning capabilities.
THE DRONE 1800 endurance is more than 8 hours @1.2ms depending on the weather and sea conditions.
An hydrodynamic shape the DRONE1800 design induce a stable platform for the survey and thereby delivers high-quality data.
An autonomous boat that can sail precisely in accordance with mission planning. A cutting edge technology which make the survey safe an affordable with a diversity of applications, all the while maintaining the highest standards of data quality. On-board cameras ensure safe navigation.
