Multiple propulsion options: Electric, diesel-electric hybrid and diesel configurations.
Flexible operating modes: Manual remote control is standard, with semi-autonomous and autonomous functions available as options.
Configurable payload capacity: Supports mission equipment with a stated maximum payload of 120 kg.
Integrated navigation and communication: Standard GNSS positioning and a 10 km digital radio link, with extended communication options available.
Mission-specific integration: Supports hydrographic instruments, environmental sensors, inspection cameras and other compatible equipment. 

Main Technical Parameters 

Endurance and Operating Range 

The electric configuration suits missions that prioritize low local emissions and quiet operation. Hybrid propulsion combines electric operation with an onboard combustion engine, while diesel propulsion supports projects requiring longer operating periods. 

Standard navigation equipment includes a GNSS positioning module supporting GPS and BeiDou, together with a manual remote control unit and a digital radio link rated for 10 km.

Optional equipment includes an inertial navigation system (INS), 4G/5G communication modules and satellite communication terminals. Cellular communication supports remote connectivity within network coverage, while satellite systems can extend communication availability beyond terrestrial networks.

Standard Supply
The base configuration includes the principal hull, control and electrical components needed for basic remote-controlled operations. 

Optional Navigation and Control Equipment
The vessel can be equipped with an autopilot, PC-based mission planning software and an inertial navigation system. Additional control functions can support waypoint navigation, route scheduling, geofencing and autonomous mission execution.
Radar and vision-based obstacle detection, return-to-home functions and enhanced communication-loss protection are available as optional system upgrades.
Optional Mission Equipment
Payload options cover single-beam and multibeam sonar, acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), water quality sondes, automatic water samplers, marine PTZ cameras, searchlights and warning beacons.
Additional watertight instrument enclosures and reinforced mounting brackets can support specialized sensor packages and equipment installations.
Integration and Technical Support Services
Jinda provides mechanical and electrical payload integration, onboard wiring, system debugging and software interface support. Joint calibration, on-water site acceptance testing (SAT), operator training and on-site commissioning are available as additional services.
Customer-supplied sensors, data acquisition units, mission software and base station equipment can also be incorporated following compatibility review. 

Hydrographic Survey and Bathymetric Mapping
The USV can support river and reservoir surveys, shallow-water bathymetry, lake mapping and repeat survey programs. Compatible payloads include single-beam or multibeam sonar, depth sounders, GNSS receivers and data acquisition systems.
Water Quality and Environmental Monitoring
The platform can carry water quality sondes, temperature sensors, turbidity sensors and automatic water samplers for environmental data collection. Applications include reservoir monitoring, pollution investigation, inland water quality surveys and long-term environmental observation.
Port and Waterway Inspection
Marine operators and port authorities can use the vessel for channel inspections, navigation aid monitoring and visual surveys of harbor facilities, quays and breakwaters. PTZ cameras, lighting equipment and positioning systems support remote observation and location-based data collection.
Aquaculture and Marine Research
The USV can support aquaculture facility inspections, aquatic ecosystem studies and fixed-point environmental monitoring. Optional underwater instruments and specialized sensors expand its use in research programs and commercial aquaculture operations. 

Operating Modes
The platform supports three levels of control functionality, allowing the control system to match the intended mission. 

Mission Planning and Fail-Safe Functions
Optional mission planning software allows operators to define survey routes, waypoints and operating boundaries before deployment. Autonomous control can support repeatable missions and scheduled data collection.
Additional fail-safe functions can include return-to-home behavior, low-battery or low-fuel responses and communication-loss recovery.

Integration with Existing Control Systems
Jinda can assess compatibility with third-party autopilots, radio modems and mission planning software. Integration work can cover communication protocols, navigation interfaces, control logic and equipment mounting. 

The 120 kg stated maximum payload supports a range of compact survey, monitoring and inspection instruments.

Hydrographic Equipment: Single-beam and multibeam sonar, ADCPs, GNSS receivers and survey data acquisition units.
Environmental Instruments: Water quality sondes, automatic samplers, temperature sensors, turbidity sensors and related monitoring equipment.
Inspection Systems: Marine PTZ cameras, searchlights, visual recording systems and other compatible observation devices. 

Marine-Grade Hull Construction
The 5.3m USV is built from 5083-H116 marine-grade aluminum alloy, selected for its strength-to-weight characteristics and resistance to seawater corrosion.
The hull manufacturing process includes aluminum plate cutting, CNC forming, structural assembly, welding and the installation of internal compartments and equipment mounting provisions.
Manufacturing Facilities and Equipment
Longkou Jinda Shipping Co., Ltd. operates a 46,000 m² manufacturing facility, including 20,000 m² of dedicated aluminum shipbuilding workshops. Manufacturing resources include German IPG laser cutting systems, CNC processing equipment, and KEMPPI and Fronius aluminum welding stations.
These facilities support precise component processing and the fabrication of aluminum vessel structures for commercial and specialized marine applications.
Structural Design and Equipment Mounting
The hull structure incorporates the mounting provisions needed for navigation equipment, communication hardware and mission payloads. Reinforced brackets and watertight instrument enclosures can be integrated for specialized applications.
Jinda coordinates the hull layout with propulsion, electrical distribution and payload placement to create a functional platform for remote and autonomous operations. 

Material and Welding Inspection
Quality control starts with material identification and verification of aluminum plate thickness. Welding inspections cover visual examination and penetrant testing as required.
Structural and Watertightness Checks
Structural inspection verifies principal dimensions, frame assembly, compartment construction and equipment mounting points. Pressure tests are performed on watertight compartments.
Electrical and Propulsion Testing
Electrical checks include circuit continuity, insulation resistance and electrical safety verification. EMC testing is available upon request. Propulsion and in-harbor functional trials verify the drive system, remote control and onboard equipment operation.
Pre-Delivery Functional Verification
The finished vessel passes agreed functional checks before delivery. Open-water trials, third-party classification surveys and specialized equipment acceptance tests can be added. 

Minimum Order Quantity and Production Lead Time
Jinda accepts single-vessel orders and customized USV projects. The indicative production lead time is 30–45 working days after deposit receipt and confirmation of the technical drawings.
Simple electric configurations generally require less production time, while hybrid or diesel configurations with advanced autonomous systems may require a longer schedule.
Warranty and After-Sales Support
The aluminum hull structure carries a standard two-year warranty from the delivery date. Electronic equipment, propulsion engines and purchased modules follow their respective OEM warranty terms.
Jinda provides remote technical guidance, troubleshooting assistance and spare parts support. On-site commissioning, operator training and extended maintenance services are available as additional services.
Packaging and International Shipping
The vessel can be secured on transport skids and protected with suitable packaging for shipment. Containerized transport, including 20-foot general-purpose containers where dimensional and loading requirements permit, can be arranged following transport assessment.
Lithium batteries, when included, are handled in accordance with applicable dangerous goods transport requirements. Available commercial delivery terms include EXW, FOB, CFR and CIF, with freight and insurance arrangements defined in the quotation.
