ME120 | Unmanned Surface Vehicle丨OceanAlpha

Quick assembly and easy transportation

The ME120 utilizes a detachable catamaran design, making it easy for van transportation and for two people to assemble and disassemble.

The ME120 USV is dedicated to multibeam sonars, side scan sonars, and other survey instruments of a relatively smaller size.

The payload cabin of the ME120 USV is replaceable, user can freely change and install different instruments according to mission requirements.

User can pre-program the survey mission with the base station on the bank. The USV and instruments can conduct surveys autonomously and send back real-time data.
User can also drive the USV manually by a remote controller.

The ME120 USV comes with ultrasonic sensors that can detect obstacles 40 meters ahead to avoid collision when in auto-pilot mode.
Operators can observe the water environment through a real-time video feed to better avoid obstacles when operating in manual mode.
