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.
