TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER scheme and description
  1. UgCS SkyHub. This module provides high accuracy radar operation by synchronizing data with UgCS and UgCS Custom Payload Monitor software.
  2. TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER mount. Provides attachment of the main landmark to the DJI M300 / 350 quadcopter. Equipped with a quick-release mechanism for easy installation and removal, as well as a two-axis karadan.
  3. TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER controller. This module connects to the drone via SkyPort connector and to the underwater module via cable. It logs data and also displays the GNSS receiver initiation status.
  4. UgCS SkyHub cable. Connects on one side to the upper payload port of the DJI M300 / 350 quadcopter, on the other side to the UgCS SkyHub. The top connector of the drone is equipped with three LED indicators.
  5. Radar Altimeter. Measures the drone's altitude in real time with an accuracy of 1 cm. Ensures safe flight altitude of DJI M300 / 350 quadcopters in the process of automatic route flight.
  6. External GNSS antenna. Performs GNSS measurements during TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER operation. It is rigidly mounted on a remote milestone on the main underwater module. During operation it is in the surface position.
  7. Tail stabilizer. The rear part of the main underwater module TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER. Performs a stabilizing function for the underwater part during automatic flight along the route.
  8. Main underwater module. Equipped with bathymetric echo-sensor and GNSS receiver. Waterproof. During operation, the module is completely underwater.
  9. External GNSS Antenna Milestone. Provides the surface position of the external GNSS antenna. It is rigidly mounted on the main underwater module. Can be partially removed and folded for easy transportation.
  10. Main module pole. Mounted on a swivel mount. Connected to the TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER Main underwater module with thumbscrews.
  11. Main pole with cable. Together with the link has a length of about 2.6 meters, which ensures a safe height of the drone above the water during automatic flight on the route. The cable connects the main module to the controller.
  12. Bathymetric echo sensor. It is installed in the main underwater module TOPODRONE AQUAMAPPER. To protect the surface of the sensor, it is slightly recessed in the housing. Optionally can be single beam or multi-beam
