Introducing the new HydroBoat 1200MB

A Simpler USV Multibeam Solution from SatLab

SatLab proudly introduces the HydroBoat 1200MB – a compact, all-in-one USV multibeam solution that simplifies underwater 3D surveying in inland and nearshore environments. By integrating SatLab’s proven unmanned surface platform with the HydroBeam M2 multibeam echo sounder, the solution delivers professional-grade performance in a portable, easy-to-operate package.

Built from the ground up as a fully integrated system, the HydroBoat 1200MB combines navigation, sonar acquisition, real-time visualization, and data management—empowering small teams to execute complex hydrographic missions with minimal setup and cost.

Core Advantages
Seamless Integration for Hydrographic Workflows
The entire workflow—from survey planning to data deliverables—is unified within one system. No complex assembly or multi-vendor integration required.

Real-Time 3D Data Visualization
View and monitor XYZ point clouds, bathymetry, and side scan images live across multiple terminals for instant quality control and efficient field decision-making.

SVP-Free Sound Speed Correction with SPIN™
The onboard Sound Speed Profile Inversion (SPIN™) algorithm ensures accurate water column correction without additional SVP instruments.

Simplified Operations, Elevated Efficiency
✅ 5-Minute Rapid Start

No calibration. No on-site assembly. Control everything via a simple Android interface with real-time previews—ready to survey in under five minutes.

✅ 7.5× Efficiency Boost

With 512 beams and 30°–150° swath coverage, the HydroBoat 1200MB surveys up to 7.5× more area than single-beam systems—accelerating acquisition, transition, and processing.

✅ Up to 50% Cost Savings

All-in-one integration eliminates the need for separate SVPs, boat rentals, or extra crew. Less hardware, less training, and faster project delivery reduce your overall costs.

✅ Reliable in Any Waters

Designed to carry high-spec multibeam sensors on a streamlined USV platform, the HydroBoat 1200MB delivers precise, high-density data even in shallow or confined waters—meeting IHO, CHS, and USACE standards.

Tailored for:

Rivers and Reservoirs
Steep or Terraced Bank Mapping
Vertical Structures and Wall Surveys
Sediment Transport & Channel Maintenance
Infrastructure & Environmental Monitoring
The HydroBoat 1200MB isn’t just powerful—it’s built for simplicity. From rapid deployment to real-time 3D results, it streamlines the entire hydrographic workflow into one compact, reliable system. Professional surveys, made easy.
