HydroFrog 25

Multi-purpose Unmanned Surface Vehicle

HydroFrog 25 is a multi-purpose unmanned vessel system developed and produced by OPT. 2.5 metres in length, HydroFrog 25 utilises a catamaran structure with stable rolling, and an open truss structure in the centre, which allows it to carry single-beam and multi-beam echosounder, sub-bottom profilers, ADCPs, multi-sensor instruments and other equipment to carry out different scenarios and tasks.

Description

HydroFrog 25 is a multi-purpose unmanned vessel system developed and produced by OPT. 2.5 metres in length, HydroFrog 25 utilises a catamaran structure with stable rolling, and an open truss structure in the centre, which allows it to carry single-beam and multi-beam echosounder, sub-bottom profilers, ADCPs, multi-sensor instruments and other equipment to carry out different scenarios and tasks.

The HydroFrog 25 features replaceable and expandable IP67 rated battery packs, electric propulsion and a self-developed power management system for long operating time, safe and stable charging, and environmental friendliness. The main connections can be quickly setup and dismantled, allowing the vessel to be assembled, mission equipment installed and deployed by one or two people in minutes. It could be folded up in a small SUV for transport.

HydroFrog 25 is equipped with a self-developed sound velocity profiler winch, which can collect the sound velocity profile data of the target area via surface control software of the USV. We can also provide a full set of mobile USV LARS system, which is suitable for most challenging project areas. Survey project can never be so convenient.
