Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) CS-UST95
CS-UST95 Self-righting Automatic Water Quality Sampling USV is a lightweight monohull intelligent unmanned surface vehicle, specially developed for water quality monitoring and hydrographic survey in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Equipped with exclusive self-righting structure, the hull is made of high-strength non-magnetic composite material, featuring corrosion resistance, anti-electromagnetic interference and shockproof performance. The bare hull weighs only 13kg, portable for single-person transport and rapid launch, perfectly suitable for complex wild waters without smooth launching ramps.
Core Advantages
- Exclusive Self-righting Design
Optimized low-center-of-gravity structure enables the USV to automatically reset after capsizing at any tilt angle. It effectively solves the common industry problem of task interruption caused by boat overturning on shoals, steep banks and windy waters, greatly improving operation stability in wild environments.
- Integrated Modular Structure
Dual ducted thrusters prevent entanglement by aquatic weeds, ideal for shallow waters. Pull-out quick-replace lithium battery supports 3.5-hour continuous operation per pack; two batteries can be swapped for full-day field missions. Full assembly and deployment can be finished within 5 minutes.
- Multi-mode Autonomous Intelligent Operation
Three control modes available: manual remote control, auto route cruise and fixed-speed cruise. Integrated GPS/Beidou & RTK centimeter-level high-precision positioning; optional millimeter-wave radar with AI anti-collision algorithm. Built-in safety logic for auto-return under low battery or signal loss. 4G/5G long-distance transmission enables real-time remote data monitoring of water quality, bathymetry and flow velocity without range limits.
- Multi-scenario Payload Compatibility
Standard 2L water sampling system with 0.5m sampling depth. It supports flexible integration with optional sensors: multi-parameter water quality probe, ADCP flow profiler, single-beam echo sounder and patch side-scan sonar. One platform realizes 5 core missions: water sampling, pollution traceability, underwater topographic mapping, river flow measurement and illegal hidden drainage pipe inspection.
- Low Maintenance & Cost-effective
All standardized modular components with failure rate below 0.5%. Full-electric design delivers zero emission and low noise, eliminating fuel maintenance cost and cutting long-term operation expenses compared with manned survey vessels.
Application Fields
Daily water sampling & sudden pollution emergency traceability for environmental protection bureaus; reservoir capacity mapping and river cross-section flow monitoring for water conservancy institutions; shallow water bathymetric survey for mapping companies; underwater hidden pipeline & sunken vessel inspection for environmental law enforcement; long-term fixed-point aquatic research for universities and hydrological research institutes.
