CHCNAV Apache 4

Surface Drones (USV)

Description

The CHCNAV Apache 4 is a compact unmanned surface vessel (USV) designed for hydrographic and bathymetric surveys. It supports various Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) systems and provides high-precision navigation with stable hovering capabilities for water flow and cross-sectional discharge measurements. The system integrates adaptive water flow technology and hovering navigation technology to improve measurement accuracy, even in challenging environments where GNSS signals may be degraded.
