AMY USV
The AMY is an unmanned surface vehicle with a high strength, lightweight carbon fiber hull ideal for scientific and military applications. It’s autonomous waypoint navigation endurance of 15 miles allows for long stretches of multi-purpose surveying. The system can be integrated with up to 81 lbs of payloads including environmental monitoring sensors and sonar imaging.
The navigation system includes a frequency hopping 2.4 GHz transmitter controlled with 3W amplifier and 10W digital radio for real-time sonar data feed. Due to the USV’s low dielectric super structure, it has the capability to include a wider range internal antennae.
