IM1300

The IM1300 is a compact and highly versatile Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) designed for shallow water operations, capable of navigating in depths of less than 10 cm. With a hydrodynamic hull and lightweight fiberglass construction, it offers a stable survey platform ideal for high-precision data acquisition in constrained or hard-to-reach environments.

Delivered with a comfortable backpack, the IM1300 is extremely portable and quick to deploy, making it perfect for rapid-response missions. Despite its small size (1.3 m length and 19 kg weight), it supports a payload of up to 6 kg and offers integration with a wide range of sensors including ADCP, single-beam echo sounders, environmental probes, and more.

Equipped with 2 brushless motors and a 1.2 kWh lithium battery, the IM1300 provides over 3 hours of autonomy at 1.2 m/s, depending on environmental conditions. An optional extra battery pack can extend endurance even further.

Autonomous navigation is enabled through a mission planning system with automatic waypoint tracking, real-time telemetry, and optional long-range communications (LTE, WiFi, or radio modem). The system is compatible with all major hydrographic software and supports FPV control, GNSS RTK, motion sensors, and optional video or LiDAR modules.

Ideal for hydrography, environmental monitoring, and inspection tasks, the IM1300 is a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and operator-safe solution that ensures high-quality data and maximum flexibility across a broad range of survey applications.
