DRONE 6800

Autonomous surface drone

THE DRONE 6800 is the latest addition to our USV fleet and is designed for offshore conditions.

With a maximum payload of 500kg and a high endurance, this robust vessel is an ideal multi-sensor platform for offshore survey activities. The drone is able to navigate in seastate 4.

The vessel is equipped with a moonpool suitable for the installation of various sensors.

The mission planning software enables the operator to efficiently execute a survey fully autonomous.

The MONODRONE 6800 can be used as a force multiplier for an existing survey vessel or can be deployed as a  stand-lone vessel for nearshore work.
