Aqua Helpers USV
Unmanned Surface Vehicles for hydrological survey, environmental monitoring, emergency rescue, and more.
Enquire NowAqua Helpers USVs are purpose-built unmanned surface vehicles designed for a wide range of water-based applications. From hydrological survey to emergency rescue, each platform is engineered for reliability, precision, and safety in demanding aquatic environments.
Hydrological Survey
USV hydrographic survey uses the vessel as a mobile platform carrying advanced instruments and sensors for rapid, accurate collection of hydrological parameters. The onboard ADCP measures flow velocity and provides detailed hydrological profile data, processed and transmitted in real time.
Water Environmental Protection
USV-based water quality monitoring enables continuous, wide-area sampling without putting personnel at risk. Onboard sensors measure dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, conductivity, and other key parameters in real time, supporting environmental compliance and pollution response.
Underwater Scanning
USV-mounted sonar and LiDAR systems deliver high-resolution underwater mapping without the need for divers or manned vessels. Multi-beam sonar, side-scan sonar, and single-beam systems combine with RTK positioning to produce accurate bathymetric charts and submerged structure surveys.
Marine Survey
Aqua Helpers USVs provide a stable, cost-effective platform for offshore and coastal marine survey operations. Equipped with precision positioning and interchangeable sensor payloads, they support hydrographic charting, seabed mapping, and offshore infrastructure inspection.
Emergency Rescue
Aqua Helpers rescue USVs deploy rapidly to flood and drowning incidents, reaching victims faster than manned craft in dangerous conditions. Equipped with life rings, tow lines, and remote control, they extend the reach of rescue teams without putting responders at risk.
Security Inspection
Autonomous USV patrol provides continuous waterway security monitoring for ports, reservoirs, and restricted water zones. Onboard cameras, thermal imaging, and AI-assisted detection enable round-the-clock surveillance without the cost of manned patrol vessels.
Intelligent Fisheries
USV-based aquaculture monitoring automates water quality sampling, feeding management, and fish stock assessment across large pond and cage farm operations. Real-time data feeds into farm management platforms for precision aquaculture decision-making.
Intelligent Water Conservancy
USVs support water conservancy authorities with autonomous inspection of dams, reservoirs, irrigation channels, and flood control infrastructure. Regular patrol missions collect water level, flow, and quality data to support asset management and early warning systems.
Smart Water Solution
Aqua Helpers Smart Water integrates USV fleets, shore-based sensors, and cloud data platforms into a unified water management system. Automated data collection, AI analytics, and digital twin visualisation give water authorities a complete operational picture of their water assets.
Lifesaving
The Guardian Pro is a next-generation rescue robot designed for rapid water rescue response. Its compact hull delivers agile manoeuvring in complex water areas, while deep integration of power, control and navigation ensures a smooth, fault-tolerant experience. An innovative self-righting design automatically restores the vessel to a horizontal position if capsized, keeping rescue operations uninterrupted.
