IM3000
Autonomous surface drone

The IM3000 is a rugged, multi-mission, flexible, shallow water USV, design for complex coastal environments and harsh conditions.
It provides a 65 kg payload and a multi-sensor platform which is capable of integrating a number of survey sensors including a winch to collect data into the water column until 100 meters and telemetry/video links with deep learning capabilities.
The IM3000 its endurance is more than 8 hours @2m/s depending of the weather and sea state conditions. The drone is able to navigate in seastate 4.
An autonomous boat that can sail precisely in accordance with mission planning. A cutting edge technology which make the survey safe an affordable with a diversity of applications, all the while maintaining the highest standards of data quality.
The operator is connected in real time to the marine drone, which follows a pre-programmed mission plan on an interactive map. On-board cameras ensure safe navigation.
The IM3000 is an affordable, easy-to-deploy technology that keeps operators safe.
