ADCP Compatible

The Apache 4 is compatible with the leading ADCPs on the market for unmanned cross-sectional flow measurement solutions. The central cavity design can suit ADCP sensors such as the M9, RTDP 1200, RiverPro and RiverRay providing integration, portable solutions. The Apache 4 is fully integration with the compatible ADCPs providing positioning, orientation, power, waterproofing, 4G transmission, and more.

Single Beam Echo Sounder Included

Detection Range: 0.15 m to 200 m

Resolution: 0.01 m

Accuracy: ± 0.01 m + 0.1% x Water Depth

Frequency: 200 KHz

Sound Velocity Adjustment Range: 1300 m/s to 1700 m/s

Beam Angle: 6.5 + 1 degree

Data Type: CHCNAV, NAME SDDPT/SDDBT, Original waveform

The D230 is a single beam echo sounder making hydrographic surveying simpler and more productive. Advanced water depth analysis algorithm filters the secondary echo automatically and professional depth-keeping configuration ensures accurate results by eliminating noise interference. The gain, power and range are also adjusted automatically.

Accurate Positioning and Navigation

The Apache 4 integrates directly with the ADCP, Echosounder, and autopilot for stable position and heading as well as increased data accuracy.

Why The APACHE 4?

1.
One-Man Operation

The entire project including calibration, mission planning, and processing can be accomplished by a single person
The Apache 4 is made of a durable yet lightweight mixture of carbon fiber and Kevlar fiber-glass weighing 7 kg allowing for easy transport
With no regulations for operating an USV, the Apache is quick and easy to use on any job
4G connectivity allows RC control at all times in large bodies of water

2.
Safety

The Apache 4 comes equipped with an obstacle avoidance radar system for maximum security
360 camera with live video feed keeps the USV safe in case of difficult weather conditions or loss of visibility
The Apache 4 is completely autonomous and operate safely from shore
AutoPlanner and HydroSurvey combine to allow the user to create an mission, survey the area, and view the results without being put in danger

3.
Echo Sounder and ADCP Synchronization

Single beam sounding data can be used to verify the accuracy of ADCP bottom tracking data
The beam sounding data is fed directly into the ADCP flow measurement software to compensate for the unavailability of ADCP data
Provides water depth profile data associated with the flow velocity profile measurements
