YSI Inspection, Survey & Testing

Autonomous Water Vehicle Survey Services

Contract survey service using remote and autonomous surface vehicles and an AUV to collect water quality, velocity, flow, bathymetry and photogrammetry data.

Description

YSI operates its own survey vehicles for customers under contract, so the benefits of the platforms are available without a purchase. Combining several sensors on one vehicle, a single autonomous mission can collect water quality, water velocity, flow, bathymetry and photogrammetry data. YSI teams have run missions in canals, lakes, reservoirs and estuaries.

Vehicles used
