Introducing the HydroBoat 1200MB – A Simpler USV Multibeam Solution from SatLab
SatLab proudly presents the HydroBoat 1200MB, a compact, all-in-one USV multibeam solution designed to simplify and accelerate underwater 3D surveying in inland and nearshore environments. By integrating SatLab’s proven unmanned vessel technology with the cutting-edge HydroBeam M2 multibeam echo sounder, it delivers professional-grade performance and reliable data in a portable, turnkey package.
Built from the ground up as a fully integrated system, the HydroBoat 1200MB unifies navigation, sonar acquisition, real-time visualization, and data management — enabling small teams to perform efficient geospatial reconnaissance and hydrographic assessment with minimal setup time and operational complexity.
Core Advantages
- Seamless Hydrographic Workflow
From survey planning to final deliverables, the system offers an ultra-integrated workflow. The integrated INS provides instant roll, pitch, and yaw precision with zero calibration required.
- Real-Time 3D Data Visualization
View high-resolution 3D point clouds, bathymetric data, and side scan images live across multiple devices — including tablets, remote controllers, and laptops — for instant quality control and agile field decision-making, eliminating the need for post-processing.
- SVP-Free Sound Speed Correction with SPIN™ Technology
Powered by Sound Speed Profile Inversion (SPIN™), the system ensures precise, real-time sound velocity correction without requiring additional SVP equipment.
Simplified Operations, Enhanced Efficiency
✅ 5-Minute Quick Start
No on-site assembly or calibration needed. Simple Android-based intuitive control interface with real-time preview—ready to survey in under five minutes.
✅ 7.5× Efficiency Boost
With 512 beams and 30°–150° swath coverage, the HydroBoat 1200MB surveys up to 7.5× more area than single-beam systems—boosting acquisition speed, operational transitions, and data processing efficiency.
✅ Up to 50% Cost Savings
All-in-one integration eliminates the need for separate SVPs, boat rentals, or extra crew. Less hardware, less training, and faster project delivery reduce your overall costs.
✅ Reliable in Any Waters
Designed to carry high-spec multibeam sensors on a streamlined USV platform, the HydroBoat 1200MB delivers precise, high-density data even in shallow or confined waters—meeting IHO, CHS, and USACE standards.
Tailored for:
- Rivers and Reservoirs
- Steep or Terraced Bank Mapping
- Vertical Structures and Wall Surveys
- Sediment Transport & Channel Maintenance
- Infrastructure & Environmental Monitoring
The HydroBoat 1200MB is more than just a powerful tool — it’s a simpler, smarter solution for underwater geospatial reconnaissance and hydrographic assessment. From rapid deployment to real-time 3D insights, it streamlines the entire hydrographic workflow into one compact, dependable system.
