Overview
The AQUA M10 Autonomous Bathymetric Survey USV is a compact, lightweight unmanned surface vehicle purpose-built for single-beam bathymetric surveys in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and coastal areas. It was created to be deployed with ease and weighs only 6 kg (without battery) and features a nano carbon composite hull, making it ideal for rapid transport and launch by a single operator.
Equipped with a built-in single-frequency echo sounder, dual GNSS antennas, onboard IMU, and RTK compatibility, the M10 delivers high-precision depth measurements with ±1 cm ± 0.1%D accuracy. Its autonomous navigation system enables smooth cruise and path tracking with full support for autopilot missions.
With IP67 waterproofing, a top speed of 7 m/s, and up to 5.5 hours of continuous operation, the M10 USV is an efficient solution for small to mid-scale hydrographic surveying, environmental monitoring, and water body management. It offers professional performance in a portable and affordable package.
