The Apache 3 Pro is a compact, high performance marine
Uncrewed Survey Vessel (USC)
with single beam echosounder, precision GNSS and high-speed IMU technology for a wide
range of hydrographic survey applications.
The built-in millimeter-wave, 110° ahead angle obstacle
avoidance system autonomously detects and charts a safe course around
obstacles, minimizing the risk of collision damage during
operation.
355° degree high speed camera enables remote override and
supervision.
Dependable real-time data for security and productivity
A combination Wi-Fi and optional cellular network with automatic
switching capabilities ensures reliable communications.
Cloud-based remote monitoring is seamlessly integrated
to provide real-time information on the status of the vessel enhancing
control and security.
Auto-return to home protects against low battery and signal
loss.
Shielded motors allow diverse water operation
Recessed 800 watt motors with an internal rotor results in a
shallow draft, lower water resistance and extended motor life.
Speeds greater than 13 mph with quick acceleration.
There are no external cables on the boat for motors, GNSS,
cameras or radar greatly reducing the risk of damage.
High speed, high accuracy IMUs enable operation under
bridges
A 200 Hz internal measurement unit (IMU) ensures consistent
position accuracy when navigating under bridges. Tight
integration of GNSS and IMU sensors also compensates for the
effects of hull sway and eliminates data outliers.
Lightweight design
Constructed from macro-molecular
polyester carbon fiber and Kevlar glass fiber the Apache 3 is a
remarkably light 22 lb. triple hull with the possibility of 65
lb. payloads.
This allows a single operator to deploy in a variety of
locations.
Single-beam echo sounder for bathymetric survey
The APACHE 3 Pro comes with a fully integrated with a D270
single-beam echo sounder and flush mounted transducer.
With an integrated built-in water temperature sensor,
real-time sound velocity corrections result in superior depth
measurement accuracy.
3.44' long x 0.55' wide x 1.28 high; 61 lbs. with batteries. Can
be transported in a small vehicle and deployed by a single operator.
3-hour operation at 5 MPH on 2 batteries, quick charging with 2
extra batteries allows nearly continuous operation if shore power is
available for charging.
Unlike other USV's, the Apache 3 Pro has no external wires,
attachment brackets, external GNSS receivers and other sensors
mounted on high poles. All connections are hull-internal. The camera
has a 355° unobstructed view other than the radio antennas, there
are no receiver masts in any direction.
The Apache 3 Pro's internal wiring is fully dressed and
protected. There are no unsheathed wires to snag.
A suitable RTK base or network correction source is
required. An [ i83 ]
or [ iBase
] with a copy of [
LandStar8 ] is a perfect companion device.
The Apache 3 Pro is not a mad-science project with cables going
from transducers mounted on afterthought brackets attached to the
hull. This is a well-engineered, 4th generation product where all
the transducers, motor wiring, cameras, radar, antennas are designed
into the hull. The internal wiring is dressed and protected for
continuous real-world use.
Echo Sounder
The D270 sounder is temperature compensated to improve accuracy.
Sounding range: 0.5 to 650 feet (ideal conditions)
The internal high-speed, high-accuracy IMU is used to correct for
vessel attitude (pitch and roll):
The IMU also provides loss of GNSS lock real-time navigation when
running under bridges.
Combined with dual-GNSS receivers for heading there is no need
for an electronic compass.
Dual, full constellation RTK receivers with IMU enhancement
provide 0.3" position and 0.2° heading accuracy.
Motor
The recessed motor helps operation in aquatic vegetation while
reducing draft. High-speed, high-torque 7,200 rpm brushless DC
motors reach 6 meter/second (12 MPH) with quick acceleration.
Over-speed mitigation extends motor life when operating in weeds and
fouling plants.
Motors have internal wiring so there are no cables on the
exterior of the hull.
Balanced power supply system
Dual packs allow hot swapping. Discharges batteries equally to
lower cell temperature and stress.
Obstacle avoidance
Millimeter wave radar allows automatic obstacle avoidance with a 120-foot range.
A bottom tracking algorithm issues a shoal alert when the Apache
encounters very shallow water.
