The Teledyne Oceanscience Z-Boat® 1800 with new ruggedized design and interchangeable sensor well, offers a simple option for high-resolution shallow-water hydrographic surveying. Get multibeam bathymetry data where conventional methods are not feasible or safe and avoid mobilizing a workboat or vessel of opportunity. The Z-Boat 1800 uses advanced radio telemetry to offer remotely operated hydrographic surveys. All data is accessible in real time, giving the operator total control over the survey process. Z-Boat navigation is easy using the GNSS position and heading available onboard, and remotely viewed at the operator location. Data processing is available in real time through CARIS OnboardTM.
The Z-Boat 1800’s ruggedized design incorporates a modular deck structure for antennas, cameras, and additional sensor mounting, making this Z-Boat ideal for shallow coastal mapping applications. The ruggedized package also includes an interchangeable sensor well, which accommodates a range of instruments including the Reson T20 multibeam, Odom MB2 and E20, as well as various RDI ADCPs and Tritech Side Scan Sonars. Sensors are easily interchanged from beneath the vehicle giving the operator one boat for many survey types.
Teledyne’s Z-Boat 1800 is available with LiDAR. This sensor capability allows the Z-Boat to map both above and below the waterline maximizing the survey capabilities of the boat.
