APACHE 3 Pro

CHCNAV Apache 3 Pro - Compact Hydrographic Drone

Product Overview: The CHCNAV Apache 3 Pro is a compact, professional unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed for autonomous bathymetric surveys in shallow waters. Its double-layered carbon fiber hull provides exceptional impact resistance and unsinkability, while the IP67 rating ensures dust and water tightness, protecting onboard components in all conditions. The semi-recessed motor reduces water resistance, improves endurance, and allows speeds up to 6 m/s, making the Apache 3 Pro ideal for a variety of marine survey and construction applications.

Key Features:

Millimeter-Wave Automatic Obstacle Avoidance

• Advanced Obstacle Detection: Equipped with a millimeter-wave obstacle avoidance system that detects obstacles within a 110° angle ahead. The USV autonomously charts a detour course to navigate around obstacles, minimizing collision risks during operation.

Lightweight Design

• Easy to Deploy: Constructed from macromolecular polyester carbon fiber and Kevlar glass fiber, the Apache 3 Pro weighs only 10 kg (excluding sensors), allowing a single operator to manage remote deployments effortlessly.

Versatile Survey Capabilities

• Navigates Diverse Water Conditions: The semi-recessed motor and innovative internal rotor design provide a shallower draft, enhancing the USV's ability to navigate various water depths and reducing the risk of damage.
• High Accuracy Under Bridges: Apache 3 Pro maintains consistent accuracy even when GNSS signals are lost, such as when navigating under bridges, by relying on its GNSS RTK + inertial navigation system.

Real-Time Data for Greater Security and Productivity

• Reliable Communication: A combination of SIM and network bridge with automatic switching capabilities ensures reliable communications. Cloud-based remote monitoring provides real-time status updates, enhancing control and security.
• Efficient Data Exchange: The use of 4G and 2.4G networks eliminates distance limitations, enabling efficient data exchange in various operating environments.

Single-Beam Echosounder for Bathymetric Survey

• Accurate Depth Measurements: Comes standard with the D270 single-beam echosounder, which includes a built-in water temperature sensor for real-time sound velocity corrections, ensuring superior depth measurement accuracy.
