Overview
The HydroBoat 1200 is the general-purpose boat in the range. It comes with a built-in single-beam echosounder and RTK positioning, and it can carry up to 25 kg of extra sensors, so the same boat can be used for discharge measurement with an ADCP or for seabed imaging with a side-scan sonar.
Key features
- Built-in 200 kHz single-beam echosounder, 0.15 to 200 m
- 25 kg payload for ADCP, side-scan sonar or water quality meter
- Dual-antenna RTK GNSS heading with INS
- 360° camera and anti-collision sensor (10 to 30 m)
- Carbon fibre hull, IP67
- 2.4 GHz radio up to 1.3 km, unlimited over 4G
