Multibeam sounders, MRU motion sensors and hydroacoustics
Hydroacoustic components and orientation sensors for SeaRobotics unmanned vessels: R2Sonic multibeam echo sounders, inertial motion reference units MRU, sound velocity profilers SVP and GNSS receivers. The hardware delivers centimeter accuracy during bottom mapping.
- High-precision sensors measuring vessel heave, pitch, roll and true heading
- Multibeam sonar transducers designed for 3D seabed bathymetry down to 200 m
- Sound velocity probes for accurate acoustic ray tracing and depth calibration
- Replacement waterproof cabling, digital signal converters and antenna masts
SeaRobotics unmanned survey systems: engineering legacy and marine fleet
SeaRobotics Corporation headquartered in Stuart, Florida has engineered dependable unmanned surface vessels and subsea robotic platforms since 1999.
Operating within Advanced Ocean Systems, the manufacturer delivers specialized technological solutions for high-precision bathymetric surveying, coastal hydrography, environmental monitoring and defense applications.
The SeaRobotics autonomous fleet comprises four-meter USV 4.0 survey craft, portable HYCAT catamarans, man-portable SR-Surveyor M1.8 vessels and multi-mission SR Utility Class platforms.
Durable composite hulls with hydrodynamically refined hullforms deliver ocean seakeeping, low drag resistance and multi-hour mission endurance across shallow coastal zones.
Surveying standards and technical sensor suites for SeaRobotics craft
Bathymetric data acquisition using SeaRobotics Corporation vessels complies with international IHO S-44 Special Order hydrographic accuracy criteria and regional maritime surveying regulations.
High-grade vessel positioning and attitude compensation preserve vertical depth sounding precision within centimeters during sea conditions up to Sea State 3.
Standard instrument suites integrated aboard autonomous vessels combine R2Sonic multibeam acoustic sounders, high-precision motion reference units MRU, dual-frequency RTK GNSS satellite receivers and sound velocity profilers SVP.
Real-time data streams feed HYPACK hydrographic survey software to construct three-dimensional digital terrain elevation models.
Selection and technical support for SeaRobotics modular systems
We support engineering selection of replacement parts and functional components for SeaRobotics / SeaRobotics Corporation: submersible electric thrusters, propulsion propellers, steerable rudder actuators, waterproof interface connectors, telemetry antennas and marine power distribution modules tailored to customer project specifications.
International commercial terms, transparent quotations and comprehensive technical documentation accompany each equipment package.
Shipments are handled through reliable logistics carriers directly to client facilities or designated port terminals with complete transport documentation and installation manuals.
Routine maintenance of marine propulsion and waterproof subsystems
During demanding operations in saltwater environments, shaft mechanical seals, electric thruster bearings, sacrificial zinc anodes and propeller blade edges experience normal operational wear.
Timely preventive servicing prevents water intrusion and safeguards drive motors from unexpected mechanical breakdowns.
To sustain continuous vessel availability, we supply original stern tube seal packages, zinc protective anodes, steering linkages and flexible conduit assemblies.
When upgrading deployed survey assets, we assist in retrofitting advanced lithium iron phosphate battery packs with extended cycling longevity.
Operational fields for SeaRobotics unmanned vessels and crawlers
SeaRobotics autonomous vessels serve port hydrographic authorities, oceanographic research institutes, coastal engineering enterprises and environmental protection agencies.
Unmanned systems perform navigation channel depth monitoring, reservoir sedimentation tracking and subsea infrastructure inspection without risking human personnel.
In commercial shipping and fleet maintenance, SR-HullBUG crawlers perform regular hull grooming to remove biofouling without requiring vessel drydocking.
For industrial storage facilities, SR-TankBUG robotic platforms conduct safe cleaning and inspection inside petrochemical and liquid storage tanks without human tank entry.
CyberHelm autonomous navigation and manned vessel conversion
The proprietary SR-CyberHelm hardware and software architecture enables conversion of standard manned workboats into fully autonomous robotic surface craft.
The retrofit package integrates electromechanical steering helm actuators, electronic throttle linkage controls and microprocessor-based navigation processors.
CyberHelm interfaces with marine navigation radars, infrared thermal imaging cameras and AIS receivers to deliver automated collision avoidance adhering to COLREGS maritime rules.
For shipyard integration, we supply connection wire harnesses, redundant helm drives and wireless operator command consoles.
