USV Hydrographic Surveys

Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), also known as uncrewed surface vessels, are autonomous watercraft that operate without a human crew.

They can be remotely controlled or navigate independently using onboard systems and sensors, and they support a variety of payloads tailored for specific missions.

Why HydroBoat?

SatLab proudly introduces the HydroBoat series USVs, a versatile fleet of unmanned vessels redefining marine operations. Developed through rigorous research and innovation, these adaptable platforms are built to tackle the most demanding tasks across various industries.

Each HydroBoat model can be equipped with specialized payloads for hydrography, surveying, environmental monitoring and designed to support a wide range of underwater missions.
