SphereFix SPCraft6: Your Autonomous Mobile Waterborne Laboratory
When Indian infrastructure projects require more than just depth soundings, the SphereFix SPCraft6 USV answers the call. Designed specifically for heavy-payload integration, the SPCraft6 moves beyond standard river profiling and steps into the realm of comprehensive marine and port surveying. It is a highly stable, completely autonomous platform built to carry the heaviest and most sensitive surveying instruments.
Massive 50 kg Payload Capacity for Multibeam Sonar
Standard USVs struggle with the weight and power requirements of advanced sonar equipment. The SPCraft6 features a widened, 1.28-meter M-shaped hull designed for maximum buoyancy and stability. With a payload capacity of 50 kg, you can effortlessly mount Multibeam Echo Sounders (MBES), Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), Side-Scan Sonar, and multi-parameter water quality sensors simultaneously.
Advanced iSail Autonomous Navigation
Powered by the proprietary iSail intelligent control platform, the SPCraft6 handles the entire workflow from mission planning to data collection. It utilizes a tightly coupled dual-antenna GNSS and IMU system, locking onto satellites in under 5 seconds. Simply plot your grid on the controller, and the vessel will execute precise line-keeping (±8 mm accuracy) even in strong currents or coastal swells.
Unmatched Power and Endurance
Working in fast-flowing Indian rivers or turbulent coastal ports requires serious thrust.
-
1100W Propulsion System: Dual high-speed brushless motors (7000 RPM) allow the vessel to reach speeds of up to 6 m/s, easily overpowering strong tides.
-
Hot-Swappable Power: The 33.6V 30Ah high-capacity lithium battery system is hot-swappable, ensuring zero downtime during critical data collection.
-
All-Weather Hull: Constructed from high-molecular-weight polyethylene and reinforced with Kevlar, the IP67-rated hull withstands Level 3 wind waves and Level 2 swells.
Next-Generation 12-Inch Base Station Controller
Unlike standard tablet controllers, the SPCraft6 is piloted by a professional 12-inch industrial touch terminal. Featuring 1200 nits of brightness for harsh sunlight readability, it also includes physical joysticks and buttons for precise manual override in tight spaces or emergencies. With built-in 4G, 2.4G, and UHF communication, your operational range is virtually unlimited.
