REAV-16

The REAV-16 uncrewed surface vessel is an essential surveying tool for challenging or sensitive environments.

The versatility of the REAV-16 make it a platform of choice for survey operations where conventional survey small craft are ineffective, including remote, environmentally sensitive, spatially-constrained or hazardous worksites.

The vessel has two very-quiet Torqeedo electric outboards fitted with weed-cutting propellers and capable of very precise slow-speed control, with a high-torque steering system. The combination of steerable outboards and differential thrust optimises turning performance whilst underway, or at slow speed/stationkeeping.
