The CAT-Surveyor is a catamaran type USV, with tele-operated or automatic navigation mode, allowing hydrographic data acquisition or underwater port and inland waters surveillance.
This USV has the unique capability of deploying a mini-ROV such as Subsea Tech’s “Observer” which comes with high definition cameras and optional imaging sonar for turbid waters.
With its open architecture and high-speed PC to PC communication the system allows to easily integrate and deploy mission-specific tools such as video cameras, side scan sonars, multibeam sonars, acoustic cameras, sediment sounders, magnetometers, physico-chemical sensors.
Its payload is 80 kg and its endurance is twelve hours.
The onshore pilot station allows visualizing and real-time controlling of all embedded software features through a Wifi link.
