NOVATEST HYDROBOAT 1200 USV

The HydroBoat 1200 is Novatest’s multi-sensor USV platform for complex hydrographic surveys and environmental monitoring.‎ Its integrated 240 mm moon pool accepts ADCP, side-scan sonar, dual-frequency sounder and multi-parameter probes — all in a 25 kg vessel, operational in under 5 minutes.‎ Hydrographic survey professionals know that the hardest challenges are not measurement complexity but logistics: carrying multiple specialised instruments on different vessels, coordinating them, synchronising data.‎ HydroBoat 1200 solves this at the root with a single modular platform designed to host any combination of sensors.‎ The 1185 mm carbon-fibre hull, shaped through CFD simulation, houses a central 240 mm moon pool — a full-depth opening for mounting ADCP, side-scan sonar, multi-parameter probes or dual-frequency sounders, with transparent data transmission to the Android handheld controller.‎ HydroBoat 1200’s new INS combination algorithm continuously measures velocity and orientation changes, maintaining accurate positioning under bridges, in river canyons or any environment with reduced satellite coverage.‎ Combined with adaptive flow control, the system follows planned survey lines with centimetre accuracy even in the presence of current and wind.‎ Further info from manufacturer on HYDROBOAT 1200 USV NOVATEST
