Launches where there is no ramp
Carried in by hand and inflated on the bank, which opens up tanks, ponds and restricted sites that a trailered boat cannot reach.
Inflatable USV
InfUSV
Portable inflatable unmanned surface vessel for rapid, shallow-water deployment.
Overview
Built for the job, not the brochure
Not every water body has a slipway. The InfUSV answers the sites that rigid hulls simply cannot reach: an inflatable unmanned surface vessel light enough to be carried to the water’s edge, inflated, fitted with its instrument pack and launched in minutes. It is the platform we reach for when access, not endurance, is the constraint.
Specification
Platform summary
Detailed specifications are issued per configuration — payload selection drives most of the numbers that matter.
| Platform | Inflatable USV |
|---|---|
| Deployment | Carry-in, minutes to launch |
| Draught | Shallow |
| Payload | Modular instrument pack |
| Transport | Packs into a vehicle |
| Typical use | Shallow water, ponds, restricted access |

Why It Works
What this platform is good at
Minutes, not hours, to deploy
Short setup makes it viable for quick assessments and repeat visits where mobilising a larger platform would not be justified.
Shallow-water capable
A shallow draught lets it work close in and over shoals where a deeper hull would ground.
Soft hull, forgiving operation
An inflatable collar tolerates contact with banks, debris and structures far better than a rigid survey hull.
