Why the HarborScout?
Best in Class Service
Our goal is your success. We offer US based support and our boats features integrated LTE (included for 1 year) which will allow us to remotely access your boat upon request for assistance and trouble shooting; it also allows the onboard GNSS to pull corrections from NTRIP and allows internet access for all devices connected to the HarborScout's telemetry network; including your shore laptop. (500mb/month; or use your own SIM)
Excellent Blend of Portability & Capability
The HarborScout 55i is 55 inches long and weights about 55lbs, making it easy to transport. It comes well equipped; the 8+ hour battery will keep you running all day without down time for battery swaps or charging, the high powered motor pod makes surveying in moving water possible, large payload bay will accommodate larger payloads such as the WASSP S3 MBES or Airmar M195 Dual Frequency echosounder and the hull design will keep the system stable even in less than ideal conditions.
Integrated Autopilot
All of our boats include an autopilot with GPS navigation and live telemetry as standard equipment. The autopilot greatly reduces the monotony of creating straight transects. The Autopilot and HarborScout 55i are equipped with a navigational GNSS system; however, if purchased with an Emlid based RTK GNSS, the autopilot will be interfaced with the RTK system and will automatically choose the more accurate source for navigation. When the HarborScout 55i has a fixed solution, navigational accuracy is unmatched.
Integrated Windows 10 PC
Each boat includes a Windows 10 running PC which serves as a data collector. Most of our clients run Hydromagic, though hypack and similar can be used. If you need a bay with USB port for a license dongle; we can accommodate. Please contact us to details. This integrated PC can be accessed over the wireless data link using Remote Desktop.
Wireless Data Link
Each HarborScout 55i includes a long range bridged LAN data link. Operators are able to connect on shore via ethernet or wifi and have a TCP/IP link to all the equipment onboard the boat. Connecting via Remote Desktop, uploading new missions, and drag/drop copying your survey data from the boat to your shore laptop or office PC is fast and easy.
Smart Battery
The HarborScout 55i includes a rugged, water resistant internal 12.8v 105 ah battery, giving it 10 hours of run time. This battery is designed for reliability, with an integrated BMS and LVC.
