3 EvoLogics SONOBOT Platform The SONOBOT unmanned surface vehicle offers a usable platform for planning and executing a hydrographic survey, delivering accurate geo-referenced bathymetric measurements and high-quality imagery with minimum transport, launch and recovery efforts. The concept of SONOBOT is to offer the end user a modular system with several confi guration options and deliver a ready-to-use USV with all the on-board equipment installed and ready for immediate action. STATION SURVEY GRID GNSS SIDE-SCAN SONAR ECHOSOUNDER REMOTE CONTROL FIELD PC The autonomous SONOBOT was developed to provide surveyors, service providers and researchers with a smart lightweight solution for hydrographic surveys and other applications in harbors and inland waters. Specifi cally for the SONOBOT, EvoLogics utilized the patented S2C broadband communication technology to build an advanced single-beam echo sounder, capable of delivering precise and accurate depth measurements even in very shallow waters. The side scan sonar, GNSS system and other equipment options were pre-selected among commercial off-the-shelf products to best fi t the SONOBOT platform and offer the user the optimal confi guration for his particular requirements. Hydrographic survey Bathymetry and seafl oor imaging in ports, harbors and inland waters Search and recovery Locating objects, such as archeological artifacts, wrecks etc. Survey missions Exploring shallow waters, natural reserves, restricted and hard-toreach areas Monitoring Regular examinations of underwater infrastructure
