WaveBot-II — Catamaran Uncrewed Surface Vessel
A compact, stable and highly efficient catamaran-type USV designed for hydrographic surveys and surveillance missions. WaveBot-II supports both autonomous and manual navigation, integrates multiple payloads and streams real-time telemetry over 5G or radio link for precise mission execution.
Overview
WaveBot-II is an advanced Uncrewed Surface Vessel engineered for hydrographic survey, environmental monitoring and surveillance operations. Designed with a catamaran hull for superior stability, it supports interchangeable payloads depending on mission needs. The onboard autonomy system enables smooth switching between autonomous and manual control modes using a GUI running on a base-station laptop.
The vessel streams live telemetry—including GNSS position, heading, path tracking and battery status—via a high-speed 5G or RF link. Operators can transition instantly to manual control using a high-power remote system, offering up to 2.5 km range. With up to 6 hours endurance, WaveBot-II is ideal for extended field deployments.
