Bathymetric survey using a radio-controlled boat
We have introduced a radio-controlled boat equipped with a precision echo sounder and DGPS. This means that instead of chartering small vessels such as fishing boats, we can now load it into a light van and conduct surveys quickly, anytime, anywhere. This has also significantly improved our mobility, making it possible to conduct bathymetric surveys in shallow waters that manned vessels cannot enter, as well as in sea areas and rivers dotted with obstacles. In the future, we would like to propose a wide range of applications for this boat, not only for bathymetric surveys of oceans, lakes, rivers, etc., but also for environmental surveys and various other surveys overseas.
