Description

HYCAT was designed from the ground up to set the bar for man portable ASV survey systems. This system offers a full compliment of autonomous failsafes and intuitive mission planning that results in safe efficient surveying. HYCAT offers the most capability of any commercial survey system on the market. It offers a full survey day of endurance with complete payload. It is tightly integrated with SonTek M9 ADCP, YSI EXO2 multiparameter water quality sonde, Yellowfin three frequency sidescan sonar, and Hemisphere A222 RTK smart GNSS antenna. HYCAT also offers an industry 1st single software interface solution. This makes for simple realtime survey planning, data acquisition and post prossing of all data sets. Being tightly integrated HYCAT is plug & play survey ready right out of the box.
