Collect water quality, discharge, hydrographic, and even side scan sonar data all from one vehicle! The rQPOD platform of remote surface vehicle systems offers water professionals the ability to run today’s top sensors simultaneously for integrated, spatially, and temporally-aligned data sets.

The YSI rQPOD is a lightweight, easy-to-assemble propulsion system that can fit to many board-style platforms. It allows users to collect data over a large spatial area in minutes, and in areas otherwise inaccessible. The 2.4 GHz remote control allows operators to control the system from up to 250 meters with a clear line of sight, with real-time data visualization options that allow users to make mission changes and decisions on the spot.

• Collect more spatial and temporal data in a single mission than ever before
• Ultimate flexibility in sensor payload for water quality, bathymetry, discharge, and more
• Lightweight design for single-person transport and deployment
• Easy on-site setup that’s ready to run in 15 minutes or less
• Marine-grade components for operation in tough environments
