Z-Boat 1800-MB2 ®

MBES Autonomous Hydrographic Survey Boat

Maximize Hydrographic Survey Efficiency

THE TELEDYNE OCEANSCIENCE Z-BoatTM with Odom
MB2 Multibeam Echosounder, ruggedized design, and
interchangeable sensor well, offer an entirely new option for
high-resolution shallow-water hydrographic surveying. Get
multibeam bathymetry data where conventional methods are
not feasible or safe, and avoid mobilizing a workboat or vessel
of opportunity. The Z-Boat uses advanced radio telemetry
to offer remotely-operated hydrographic surveys. All data is
viewable in real time, giving the operator total control over
the survey process. Z-Boat navigation is easy using the GNSS
position and heading available onboard, and remotely viewed
at the operator location. Data processing is available in real
time through CARIS Onboard.

Teledyne Odom Hydrographic’s MB2 Multibeam Echosounder is

optimized for shallow-water survey with a dedicated cylindrical
transmit array and broad range of sounding frequencies. With
24-bit raw data, both water column and seabed information
can be collected within the controller software onboard the
Z-Boat. The Real Time Appliance (RTA) synchronizes all of the
sensors with accuracy better than 0.1 ms. Precise positioning
is powered by the optional integrated Applanix POS MV
WaveMaster engine aided by Trimble GNSS.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Additional features from HYPACK® and CARIS allow for remote
viewing of Z-Boat operations or processed data.

The Z-Boat’s new ruggedized design is IP67-rated and
incorporates a modular deck structure for antennas, cameras,
and additional sensor mounting, making the Z-Boat ideal
for shallow coastal mapping applications. The ruggedized
package also includes an interchangeable sensor well which
accommodates a range of instruments including the Odom
MB2, Odom MB1, Odom CV100, various RDI ADCPs and Tritech
Side Scan Sonars. Custom sensor integrations are available.
Sensors are easily interchanged from beneath the Z-Boat.
A drone upgrade with waypoint navigation is available to offer
laser-straight survey lines and precise positioning for large
area or repeating surveys.
