About APACHE 4 Pro
APACHE 4 PRO is a compact hydrographic vessel designed to carry acoustic Doppler current profilers, single-beam or multibeam sonar and water-survey sensors. Its stable hull and shallow draft support work in rivers, reservoirs, canals and sheltered coastal areas.
CHCNAV navigation and control systems provide autonomous route following, station keeping and precise georeferencing. Operators monitor mission progress and sensor data from shore and can switch to remote control where required. The platform supports current measurement, bathymetry, bridge surveys, dredging and environmental monitoring.
