Introduction about UHV Proposal of UHV Design for Monitoring and Hydrographic Surveying Applications Components of Proposed UHV Research Methods Post Processing Works Outline

An Unmanned Hydrographic Survey Vehicle (UHV) is a remote controlling boat as show in figure 1. Introduction

Bathymetry and seafloor mapping Possible Applications of UHV

Search and recovery Possible Applications of UHV

Monitoring – Regular examinations of underwater infrastructure Possible Applications of UHV

Proposed UHV focuses on the following functions: Remote controllable Stream, lake-floor surveying Positioning using GPS and INS Real-time data processing and displaying results The Objective of the proposed UAV
