Unmanned Water Cleaning Boat

Unmanned Water Cleaning Boat

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) made from PDCPD composite materials are not only lightweight, impact-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, but also possess excellent guidance.
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are autonomous or remotely operated surface vehicles that require no personnel on board. They are widely used in a variety of fields, including oceanographic surveys, environmental monitoring, military reconnaissance, hydrological surveys, water patrols, aquaculture, and emergency rescue. With the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, navigation and positioning, communications, and power systems, USVs have continuously achieved breakthroughs in structural design, functional integration, intelligent control, and operational capabilities. They are gradually becoming a key platform for water operations and a crucial component of China's maritime power strategy.

- Product Overview
Modern unmanned boats (UAVs) are highly intelligent devices that integrate automated navigation, real-time communication, intelligent perception, multiple mission payloads, and autonomous decision-making capabilities. Their core features lie in their unmanned and intelligent nature, enabling them to replace or assist humans in long-term operations in complex, harsh, or high-risk environments, improving efficiency and reducing operational risks and costs. Based on their application, UAVs can be categorized as remote-controlled, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous. Fully autonomous models represent the future direction of UAV development.
UAVs generally consist of a hull platform, propulsion system, energy system, navigation and control system, communication system, and mission payload system. They are capable of autonomous operation around the clock and in all sea areas. They can autonomously navigate pre-set routes, avoid obstacles in real time, intelligently identify targets, and transmit collected data in real time to shore-based control centers or store it for processing.

- Technical Features
Intelligent Navigation and Control System
The unmanned boat is equipped with a high-precision Beidou/GPS dual-mode positioning module, an integrated inertial navigation system (INS), and a geographic information system (GIS), achieving centimeter-level track control and positioning accuracy. The system also supports path planning, dynamic obstacle avoidance, and automatic return-to-home functions, demonstrating high environmental adaptability and autonomous operation capabilities.
Real-time Communication Capabilities
Using a variety of communication methods, including 5G, 4G, satellite links, and radio, it enables long-distance, high-speed data transmission and two-way control between the surface and shore bases. Multi-channel communication ensures information continuity and reliability during missions. Select models support unmanned group collaborative operations and network relay communication.
Modular Design and Multi-Mission Payload Integration
The unmanned boat platform adopts a modular design, supporting the rapid replacement and integration of various sensors and mission modules, such as multi-beam echo sounders, side-scan sonars, water quality analyzers, marine meteorological sensors, and underwater cameras. It can meet diverse application needs, including hydrological surveys, environmental monitoring, security patrols, and target identification. 

Effective Power and Energy Systems
Propulsion systems primarily include electric, water jet, and propeller propellers. Battery-powered systems are primarily used, but hybrid systems are also available for extended-endurance missions. Modern unmanned boat power systems offer advantages such as long endurance, low energy consumption, and simplified maintenance, allowing for flexible configuration based on operational intensity.
Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance and Target Recognition Capabilities
By combining lidar, radar, and vision systems with artificial intelligence algorithms, unmanned boats can identify obstacles, surface targets, and shoreline information, automatically avoiding collision risks and supporting advanced functions such as surface target tracking, recognition, and classification.

- Application Scenario
Marine Surveying and Hydrographic Surveys
Unmanned boats can be equipped with high-precision bathymetric sonar, ADCP, water temperature and salinity probes, and other equipment for port and channel surveys, depth measurements, current monitoring, and seafloor topography mapping. They are particularly suitable for shallow, complex, and dangerous areas, significantly improving surveying efficiency and safety.
Environmental Monitoring and Ecological Protection
Equipped with water quality monitoring sensors, plankton collectors, and gas samplers, unmanned boats can be used to track pollution sources, monitor water quality in real time, and provide early warnings for red tides in lakes, rivers, and offshore waters, promoting the modernization of water ecological and environmental governance.
Maritime Patrol and Border Enforcement
UAVs can perform routine, long-term patrols for maritime security, illegal fishing surveillance, smuggling detection, and maritime rights patrols. Combined with video surveillance and AIS systems, they can provide remote law enforcement assistance, improving law enforcement efficiency. 

Emergency Search and Rescue and Disaster Response
During sudden disasters such as floods, typhoons, and dam breaches, unmanned boats (UAVs) can be rapidly deployed to disaster-stricken waters to conduct search and rescue, supply delivery, and environmental assessments. They can collaborate with drones and underwater robots to build a three-dimensional emergency response system.
Military Reconnaissance and Anti-Submarine Warfare
In military applications, UAVs can perform tactical missions such as surface reconnaissance, electronic jamming, mine laying, and anti-submarine tracking, becoming a crucial component of future naval warfare systems. Their key advantages are stealth, low noise levels, and autonomous operational capabilities.
Maritime Communication Relay and Information Node Construction
UAVs can serve as temporary floating base stations to establish mobile maritime communication networks, providing stable communication support for offshore platforms and drone fleets, and expanding information coverage.

- Advantages and Prospects
Unmanned boats, a key area of intelligent marine equipment, offer significant advantages:
Reduced labor costs and risks: Operating in high-risk waters or complex environments, they can replace manual labor in high-intensity, high-risk tasks, ensuring operator safety.
Improved operational efficiency: 24/7 continuous operation significantly outperforms traditional manned vessels in mission efficiency.
Flexible deployment and rapid response: Compact and lightweight, they can be quickly deployed to target waters, making them particularly suitable for emergency missions such as disaster relief.
Environmentally friendly: Primarily powered by electricity, they offer low noise and zero emissions, meeting modern environmental requirements.
With increasing technological maturity and decreasing manufacturing costs, the application of unmanned boats will further expand. Future development trends include:
Increased intelligence: Integrating artificial intelligence algorithms enables a higher degree of autonomous decision-making and task coordination.
System clustering: Multiple boats can operate collaboratively to form "unmanned boat swarms," enhancing large-scale operational capabilities.
