BlueBoat: The Next Generation Autonomous Surface Vessel
At SepcoTech, we’re committed to delivering cutting-edge marine solutions—and BlueBoat sets a new benchmark for autonomous surface operations. Designed for versatility and precision, this platform is ideal for oceanographic research, environmental monitoring, and hydrographic surveys.
Key Technical Specifications
Hull Design: Dual-hull catamaran for superior stability in challenging conditions.
Dimensions: 1.5 m length, optimized for portability and deployment from small vessels.
Payload Capacity: Up to 15 kg, supporting a wide range of sensors and instruments.
Power System: High-efficiency lithium battery packs enabling extended missions of up to 24 hours.
Propulsion: Twin electric thrusters for precise maneuverability and low acoustic signature.
Communication: Integrated 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, and optional satellite link for real-time data transmission.
Navigation: GNSS-based autopilot with advanced waypoint planning and collision avoidance.
Sensor Integration: Compatible with sonar, ADCP, water quality probes, and custom payloads.
What Makes BlueBoat Stand Out
Unmatched Endurance: Up to 62 hours with 8 batteries (220 km range) and solar power capability for indefinite missions.
Payload Flexibility: 15 kg capacity with multiple penetrator holes and ports for custom sensor integration (Ethernet, USB 3.0, ADC).
Compact & Portable: Foldable design (120 x 71 x 24 cm) and lightweight (14.5 kg) for easy transport.
Advanced Navigation: ArduRover + BlueOS with waypoint navigation, click-to-navigate, and return-to-home.
Environmental Resilience: Operates in -25°C to 40°C, with weedless propellers for debris-heavy waters.
Scalable Power System: Modular battery configuration (2–8 batteries) for mission-specific endurance.
Typical Use Cases
Environmental Monitoring: Deploy sensors for water quality, pollution tracking, and ecosystem health assessments.
Hydrographic Surveys: Conduct bathymetric mapping and seabed profiling with high precision.
Oceanographic Research: Collect data on currents, temperature, and salinity for scientific studies.
Infrastructure Inspection: Support offshore energy projects by inspecting subsea structures and pipelines.
Defense and Security: Enable surveillance and reconnaissance missions in coastal zones.
