IUSV 170

Unmanned Surface Vehicle – USV

IUSV 170

The iUSV-170 is an unmanned, autonomous surface vehicle (USV) with a small-to-medium-sized catamaran design. Focused on ease of use and portability, the vehicle consists of two inflatable pontoons and modular carbon fiber sections. It can be assembled in under 20 minutes and used by one or two people, with a total weight of just 14.5 kg (including batteries). Its overall dimensions are 1.7m (length) x 0.6m (width).

Why opt for the iSUV170?

Dynamic and versatile, it is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications.

Versatility and ability to be used in multiple roles.

With a payload capacity of 20 kg and a deck size of 67 x 60 cm, the iUSV-170 can accommodate a wide range of sensors and instruments. It is ideal for operations in inland waters (such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs), port facilities, and coastal areas. This versatile platform can host a variety of sensors for hydrographic, environmental, or technical/construction tasks.

Technology that leads to maximum ease of use.

The iUSV-170 operates in 3 different ways:

1. Powered by two (2) motors in a differential/skid steering configuration for long-duration operations.
2. Equipped with four (4) motors in a differential/skid steering setup for heavy-duty tasks or challenging operational conditions.
3. Utilizes four (4) motors in a vectored configuration to enable “keep station” (~dynamic positioning) for specialized tasks such as water sampling, water column profiling, and more.

An affordable solution with excellent capabilities

A cost-effective solution with low daily operating and maintenance costs, the iUSV-170 delivers one of the best performance-to-cost ratios in its class. Designed for reliability and efficiency, it offers continuous operation for up to 4–6 hours, making it an ideal alternative to traditional methods. Its modular design ensures easy, low-cost replacement of individual components while promising future expandability.

The standard version includes:

Long-range telemetry (15 km)

Real-time HD video transmission with a 4 km range

RKT GNSS base & rover (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo , BeiDou, QZSS)
