Overview 

The AutoNav Plus was designed to accompany Seafloor’s HyDrone Unmanned Survey Vessel 

RCV/ASV survey platform. It was designed specifically to allow the hydrographic surveyor to 

reliably and effectively tackle hydrographic surveys in shallow waters or hard to reach areas 

when conventional survey boats are not an option. The AutoNav PLUS expands on the 

HyDrone’s usability by allowing direct access to the onboard computer on the survey vessel for 

easier data collection when paired with the HyDrone and HydroLite-TM or -DFX pole kit.
