The EchoBoat-ASV features dual-DC motors for ease of control and redundancy, non-corrosive materials, an integral transducer well, and multi-sensor payload capability.

In addition, the package includes AutoNav™, the Seafloor Auto Pilot package enabling the user to pre-plan a survey, upload to the onboard memory and autonomously carry out the survey. The system also provides the ability to manually override the Auto Pilot as well as a return to base function.

Equipped with a NORBIT iWBMSc (Integrated Wideband Multibeam Sonar, Compact) with internal Novatel SPAN INS and integrated AML real-time SV sensor, the EchoBoat-ASV is an extremely capable and high-resolution survey package.
