This Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) platform is engineered for professional water security, routine inspection and environmental monitoring missions.
Built with lightweight 5083-H116 aluminum-magnesium alloy, it supports remote control and pre-planned waypoint navigation.
No crew is required during unmanned operation, lowering personnel exposure risks for harbour patrol, coastal surveillance, inland water inspection and other unmanned surface missions.
Patrol Missions & Application Scenarios
Port Security: Harbour boundary patrol, restricted water monitoring, abnormal target detection, illegal entry and floating debris identification
Coastal Surveillance: Pre-set nearshore route patrol, shoreline visual inspection, illegal reclamation and structure evidence collection
Inland Water Inspection: Regular survey of rivers, reservoirs, lakes and navigation channels; levee and water level inspection
Critical Infrastructure Monitoring: Patrol around offshore wind turbines, bridges, subsea pipelines and water intakes
Environmental Monitoring: Equipped with water quality sensors for real-time sampling and transmission of COD, ammonia nitrogen, turbidity and other data
Emergency Reconnaissance: Visual assessment for oil spills and incident sites without sending personnel into high-risk waters
Hull Design & Vessel Specifications
The monohull adopts 5083-H116 marine grade aluminum alloy approved by CCS, featuring seawater corrosion resistance and favourable strength-to-weight ratio.

Autonomous Navigation & Remote Control
The base system includes manual remote control, pre-set waypoint route planning, geofence and hover protection on signal loss. Advanced obstacle avoidance and return-to-home (RTH) are optional add-on modules.
Available Functions:
- Manual remote steering and stepless speed adjustment
- Waypoint mission planning, auto route tracking, station keeping
- Geofence boundary alarm
- One-click emergency stop
- Failsafe on signal loss: Hover in place (standard); Return-to-Home (RTH, optional upgrade)
- Real-time GNSS position, speed, battery voltage and vessel status telemetry
Surveillance System & Payload Integration
Standardised mounting bases, isolated power supply channels and universal RS485 / Ethernet interfaces are reserved on deck. Centre-of-gravity calculation is completed before delivery with a maximum rated payload of 60 kg.
Common Optional Payloads:
- HD daylight surveillance camera (1080P, 30× optical zoom)
- Uncooled thermal imaging camera
- Marine AIS transceiver
- X-band compact marine radar
- 5-parameter water quality sensor (turbidity, pH, DO, COD, ammonia nitrogen)
- LED high-power searchlight
- LiDAR obstacle avoidance unit
- Side-scan sonar (custom project only)
We complete payload wiring, power distribution, communication alignment and full joint inspection before handover.
Communication System & Shore Control Station
Standard LOS Digital Radio: Stable 5km range for control commands, position data and low-rate images. No data subscription fee; ideal for enclosed harbours, reservoirs and inland rivers
Optional 4G / 5G Transmission Terminal: Non-line-of-sight coverage, supports HD video stream and real-time sensor data upload via cellular network
Project configurable items:
Redundant communication backup (radio + 4G dual link, optional)
Independent shore control station (industrial all-in-one PC, joystick, display, control software)
API integration with your existing smart water conservancy or port security platform (custom development)
Customization
Custom USV Engineering & Production Jinda Shipbuilding has 25 years of aluminum vessel fabrication experience, with in-house welding workshops and dedicated water trial zones. We can adapt this 7.5m platform or develop brand-new USV models from 4m to 12m.
Available Customization:
- Adjustment of principal hull dimensions (4m ~ 12m USV)
- Fully electric or diesel-hybrid propulsion system
- Solar panel charging system for extended endurance
- Integrated payload brackets, power distribution and wiring
- Navigation & perception hardware selection, software function trimming
- Protocol adaptation and secondary platform development
- Custom hull colour, LOGO, maritime / law-enforcement marking painting
Inspection & Acceptance Process for Government and Commercial Projects
Standard delivery includes full factory inspection and still-water sea trial. Tender projects may arrange third-party witnessed sea trials, FAT / SAT acceptance.
Factory Test Scope:
- Hull dimensional check, non-destructive weld sampling, anti-corrosion inspection
- Endurance bench test for propulsion, battery and electronics
- Full function verification for remote control, communication and waypoint missions
- Still-water tests for speed, endurance, station keeping and failsafe logic
- Payload power stability test
Standard Delivery Documents: General arrangement drawing, electrical schematic, material certificate, factory test report, operation manual, certificate of conformity. CCS / BV classification survey and third-party test reports are optional value-added services.
Warranty Terms: Aluminum hull – 2 years; propulsion motor, electric control, battery and communication components – 1 year. Third-party sensors, radar and cameras follow original manufacturer warranty policy.
