Composite Hull & Chassis
The Maven 210’s structure is engineered for strength, durability, and efficiency. Dual carbon-fiber hulls joined by precision aluminum beams provide exceptional rigidity while minimizing weight. All flat panels are constructed from reinforced honeycomb-core composites, ensuring an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.
PERFORMANCE
Compact, lightweight platform for rapid deployment and shallow water agility, while efficient power architecture supports day-long operations. Operational up to sea state 4 with recovery safeguards.
SUBMERSIBLE BRACKETS
The modular structure is designed around a rail-based mounting framework, allowing quick integration of sensors, payloads, and mission-specific equipment without compromising rigidity.
Key Capabilities:
• Sonar Systems:- Side-scan and multibeam sonars
for high-resolution seabed mapping
- Real-time imaging for navigation and obstacle detection
- Depth profiling to support bathymetric and hydrographic surveys
• Environmental Sensors:
- Water quality probes for measuring water quality
- Pollution detection modules for identifying oil spills, chemical leaks, or harmful algae
AUTONOMY & CONTROL
► Autonomy: Flight controller + GPS (Pixhawk/Cube Orange+, Mission Planner/QGC)
► Handheld RC: 2.4 GHz (FrSky X-Lite Pro) basic telemetry (1–4 km variants)
► Mobile HD GCS: HereLink / Skydroid H16/H30 / SIYI
MK32/UNIRC7 - (range up to 15 km with directional antenna)
► Optional 900Mhz telemetry (range up to 15 km with directional antenna)
► Backhaul: Dual-SIM modem options (RUT-956 / Archer MR600)
► Onboard computer: Raspberry Pi / Jetson / i5 Mini PC
X-Rail System
Side-mounted X-Rails with M6 positions at 30mm spacing for quick configuration of add-ons. Supported Add-Ons
► Modular Bridges (20 cm), electronics box + camera dome
► Antenna brackets (adjustable height/angle)
► Sonar undercarriage (hull-matched profile)
► Balancing buoys for stability tuning
► GPS housing tower (IP-rated routing
Low Cost
Power & Energy
Battery options: 16 Ah and 22 Ah 6S Li Po arrangeable in multiple configurations depending on power or storage needs.
Open design of battery cases to maximize light weight aspects with voltage display; parallel charging up to 8 batteries.
IP-69 Multipurpose Payload Release
Our USV's can support up to 2/4 payload releases from Ground Control station or via remote control This option requires a modular bridge.
DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
Hoisting
Safety and operational simplicity are central to the Maven’s handling design.
Four integrated lifting points and two towing hooks are positioned directly on the structural beam system for maximum strength.
Docking
The Viper 160 connects to its docking station, docking alignment is supported by integrated and guide rails for supporting the USV while parking
Slipway
A tailored deployment cart supports Viper's stance and hydrodynamic hull shape,
providing secure movement and angled release to the water under full load.
Rollover Configuration & Stability
Our vessels are engineered with a self-righting rollover configuration that ensures maximum reliability and safety in demanding marine conditions. This system combines hull geometry, hatch form, and balance buoys to guarantee that the platform automatically returns to an upright position after capsizing.
Hatch Form Geometry
The hatch is designed with a low-drag, asymmetrical shape that naturally guides the vessel back to its upright orientation. Internal compartments remain sealed and protected, preventing water ingress during rollover events.
Balance Buoys
Strategically placed side buoys act as stabilizers, shifting the center of buoyancy This passive balancing system eliminates the need for active mechanisms, reducing complexity and maintenance.
Reliable Performance
Automatic self-righting capability increases mission survivability in rough seas. Tested for both unmanned and autonomous operations, minimizing downtime and operational risks. Works seamlessly with modular deck rails and bridges, preserving flexibility for add ons.
