repeatable hydrographic surveys in shallow and complex waters.
Challenges in shallow and confined hydrographic survey environments
Collecting reliable hydrographic data in shallow, nearshore and confined environments remains a persistent challenge for survey operations. Limited accessibility in shallow waters, harbours and inland waterways often restricts where and how survey operations can be performed. At the same time, operating crewed vessels in these conditions increases safety risks and operational complexity.
In addition, variability between survey runs can affect the consistency of datasets, making it more difficult to compare results over time. Combined with the significant costs associated with vessel deployment and crew, this puts pressure on both data quality and operational efficiency. Survey and data providers therefore require a solution that combines precision, repeatability and efficiency, without adding complexity to their operations.
DUS CV2000 USV for reliable hydrographic surveys.
The DEMCON unmanned systems CV2000 USV is designed specifically to support high-quality hydrographic surveys in challenging environments. It enables survey teams to execute repeatable measurements, higher data density and safer operations, while reducing operational complexity.
Delivered as a complete, turn-key system, the CV2000 requires no additional integration or setup. Survey teams can move directly from delivery to data acquisition, enabling faster deployment and reducing preparation time for new projects.
improving data quality and survey operations performance.
REPEATABLE SURVEYS WITH HIGHER DATA DENSITY
Autonomous navigation on a stable, low-disturbance platform enables consistent survey execution and improved data density, also in shallow and complex environments.
MORE CONSISTENT DATASETS ACROSS SURVEY RUNS
Accurate, repeatable measurements increase comparability between runs, strengthening bathymetry, volumes, profiles and 3D models.
REDUCED OPERATIONAL RISK AND LOWER COST
Unmanned operations reduce the need for crewed vessel hours and improve safety in high-risk or hard-to-access areas.
