Q-Boat 1250
Product descripton: Q-Boat 1250 by Teledyne Marine
The Teledyne Oceanscience Q-Boat 1250 is a compact remotely operated surface vehicle (USV) designed for portable and efficient hydrographic surveys using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs). Built for shallow-water applications, the system enables single-person deployment and operation, providing a safe and cost-effective alternative to traditional survey methods.
Featuring a robust dual-thruster propulsion system, the Q-Boat 1250 delivers stable and repeatable survey performance in streams, rivers, lakes, and protected coastal areas. Its lightweight and portable design allows operators to access remote or difficult-to-reach locations while reducing deployment time and improving personnel safety by keeping survey teams away from hazardous water conditions.
The Q-Boat 1250 supports most industry-standard ADCP systems and provides wireless sensor data transmission, enabling efficient current measurements and high-quality hydrographic data collection. Its modular and convenient design makes it suitable for rapid deployment in a wide range of inland and nearshore survey operations.
Key Applications
- ADCP measurements in rivers and streams
- Shallow-water hydrographic surveys
- Current profiling in lakes and coastal areas
