Alpha Hi Multifunctional Hydrographic USV

Alpha Hi is a multi-purpose surface robot platform with an excellent hydrodynamic design. It comes standard with RTK positioning and orientation and a single-beam echosounder, driven by high-pressure, high-power dual pump-jet thrusters. The hull is divided into three areas: control system, hydrological bay and electrical compartment.

The hydrological bay accepts equipment such as ADCP, multibeam, multi-parameter water quality probes and sampling bottles, while the deck bracket can be extended with long-baseline antennas, searchlights, megaphones or meteorological sensors. With a 45 kg maximum load, 2 m/s cruising speed (up to 6 m/s) and 6 hours of endurance (12 h optional), it withstands level 3 wind and level 2 waves.

The Android remote controller with a Qualcomm 8-core processor and 5.5" screen combines remote control, data link and video link. The vessel automatically records position, sonar and sensor data along the planned route and returns home at the end or when the battery is low. Optional extras include an automatic lifting system for sampling at different depths and visual AI that recognises the shore, waterline and surface targets.
