Water sampling marine drone BX-USV II

for scientific researchfor port inspectionautonomous

Overview
Developed by AGISTAR, the BX-USV II is a next-generation unmanned surface vehicle (USV) featuring an advanced composite hull, inflatable side floats and underwater propulsion. Compact and transportable, it is designed for a wide range of maritime and inland water missions including bathymetry, environmental monitoring, sonar mapping and infrastructure inspection.

Missions & Capabilities

• Automatic water sampling and in-situ environmental monitoring
• Pollution and hydrocarbon detection
• Sediment measurement and bathymetric surveying
• Inspection of underwater and near-surface infrastructure
• Scientific data collection: meteorological, hydrological, sonar and imaging

Design & Transportability
The modular hull with inflatable side floats reduces volume for storage and transport. The BX-USV II is sized for easy handling and can be carried in the trunk of a standard vehicle or shipped as compact modules for rapid on-site deployment.

Integration & Software

• Flexible integration for a broad range of sensors and instruments (sonar, samplers, cameras, environmental probes)
• Equipment can be factory-integrated or mounted by the user via dedicated mounts
• Power output available to external equipment from the platform batteries
• Custom software options for real-time data acquisition, onboard processing and PC-based analysis with exportable formats

Operational Performance
The BX-USV II supports remote and computer-based control as well as autonomous navigation up to 10 km (subject to configuration and local regulations). Key parameters include efficient propulsion, extended battery endurance and a payload capacity up to 50 kg to accommodate mission-specific instruments.

Support & Services

• Standard 1-year warranty with renewal options
• On-site and online training available for operation, mission setup and maintenance
