IM6800

The IM6800 is the latest addition to our USV fleet, specifically engineered for offshore and demanding nearshore operations. With its robust 7-meter platform, high payload capacity, and exceptional endurance, the IM6800 is designed to perform reliably in challenging marine environments.

The IM6800 is an affordable, easy-to-deploy offshore USV solution that enhances survey capability, improves safety, and delivers high-quality data across a wide range of offshore applications and features an ultra-connected communication architecture, capable of integrating multiple communication links suitable for offshore operations. Combined with its high endurance, this ensures long operational windows and maximum mission efficiency.

Capable of carrying up to 500 kg of payload, the IM6800 is a true multi-mission, multi-sensor offshore survey platform. It can integrate a wide range of hydrographic, geophysical, and environmental sensors, including multibeam and single-beam echo sounders, side scan sonars, sub-bottom profilers, and atmospheric sensors, as well as winch systems enabling water column measurements down to 100 meters. The vessel is equipped with a central moonpool, allowing safe and efficient installation of hull-mounted or over-the-side sensors.

Designed for reliability and stability, the IM6800 is an autonomous, stable, and highly dependable robotic vessel, capable of collecting high-quality field data even under harsh environmental conditions, with operational capability up to Sea State 4.

Advanced mission planning software allows operators to plan and execute survey missions fully autonomously. The operator remains connected to the USV in real time via an interactive map interface, while on-board cameras ensure continuous situational awareness and safe navigation throughout the mission.

Operationally, the IM6800 can be deployed as a force multiplier alongside a crewed survey vessel, operating simultaneously to expand survey coverage and significantly improve efficiency. It can also be used as a stand-alone autonomous platform for nearshore and offshore survey missions, reducing operational costs while keeping personnel safe.
