The HyDrone\u2122 is a one-man portable catamaran platform developed for hydrographic survey applications. It has a light-weight, wide profile and watertight construction to provide stability and ruggedness. And, with the addition of the dependable HydroLite-TM\u2122 portable echosounder kit, the HyDrone\u2122 accomplishes the same results as more expensive remotely controlled survey systems. The HyDrone\u2122 is made from professional grade, water-tight marine components and readily disassembles for ease of transport.<\/p>\n
