Surfbee Flow Seeker (Surfbee P/N: SFSII)
The Flow Seeker is the workhorse among the unmanned surface vehicles (USV) and was specially developed for measurements with the SonTek M9 and RS5 ADCP. It is maneuverable, portable and capable of operating in faster currents at a maximum speed of 4 m/s. The USV is equipped with the Surfbee app, which runs on the handheld transmitter and offers advanced features such as streaming camera images, autonomous boat measurements while underway and stationary measurements without a measuring line.
Product features:
- Powerful performance (maximum speed of 4 m/s)
- Lightweight design (15 kg including batteries)
- Long-range transmitter with dust and splash water protection (range 1 km)
- ADCP Surfbee app with specific functions for ADCP measurements
- Robust, inflatable housing for easy transportation and space-saving storage
- Autonomous bathymetry measurements and mission planning via the transmitter app
Designed for High Reliability
The Flow Seeker USV combines robust performance with excellent handling for your SonTek M9 and RS5 ADCP flow and bathymetry measurements. With a top speed of 4 m/s, the Flow Seeker expands the range of applications for survey teams.
Advanced and precise control
Use GPS-supported, autonomous measurements so that the hydrographer can concentrate on data acquisition rather than deployment. Whether taking measurements on the move or stationary ADCP measurements with the SonTek M9 and RS5 ADCP, the Flow Seeker USV allows you to set waypoints and boat speed via the Surfbee app on the handheld transmitter's color screen, ensuring reliable and consistent measurements.
Safer and optimized workflows
The Flow Seeker USV provides survey teams with a safer way to carry out their work, while bringing additional features that enhance ADCP data collection techniques to improve data quality.
Flexible setting options
oth differential corrections and RTK-GNSS options are offered, with position data shared between the USV and ADCP, simplifying and optimizing workflows. The Flow Seeker hull can be used with its own GNSS solution for manual towed measurements; alternatively, the drives can be installed to provide an unparalleled USV experience.
