About
About HydroSurv
HydroSurv’s REAV range covers inland, nearshore and longer-endurance offshore survey. Smaller REAV-25, REAV-28 and REAV-35 vessels work in rivers, reservoirs and coastal water, while REAV-45 and REAV-47 carry larger survey spreads and REAV-60 extends endurance for offshore missions.
The vessels integrate multibeam sonar, sub-bottom profilers, environmental sensors and other hydrographic or geophysical payloads. HydroSurv supplies standard vessels, customer-specific configurations, training and operational support, allowing survey organisations to purchase a platform or build a complete data-capture programme around the USV.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-08-24 - Deployment - HydroSurv delivers REAV-60 with Rim Drive propulsion to Subsea Fenix
The 5.7 m battery-hybrid vessel was commissioned in August for vessel-mounted survey equipment. Towed-system integration was planned by the end of 2026, with ROV deployment capability targeted for Q1 2027.
Source - 2026-07-28 - Partnership - Hike Metal licenses HydroSurv REAV production for North America
The licensed portfolio covers three battery-electric and hybrid vessel variants ranging from 2.5 to 6 metres. Hike will provide North American manufacturing, sales and support for government, commercial and research operators. Manufacturing of the first North American-built vessels has begun, with initial deployments planned in Canada and the United States.
Source - 2026-05-26 - Partnership - HydroSurv and BeyonC integrate REAV-60 with Syncro ROV
HydroSurv and BeyonC finalized an agreement to deliver a REAV-60 USV configured to deploy and operate BeyonC's Syncro pipeline survey ROV. The companies developed a launch and recovery system to integrate Syncro into the REAV-60 platform. The system targets shallow-water subsea cable and pipeline survey with reduced reliance on crewed vessels.
Source - 2026-03-02 - Commercial Order - HydroSurv delivers REAV-25 USV to Skanska Norway
HydroSurv announced the sale and delivery of a REAV-25 uncrewed surface vessel to Skanska Norway for inland hydrographic survey operations. The REAV-25 was configured for high-resolution bathymetric surveys using a Norbit iWBMS multibeam echo sounder. The vessel was expected to enter operational service with Skanska Norway in early spring 2026.
