USV Sonar Payload Configuration: What to Include in Your Quotation
Match the deliverable to the sensor, then confirm mounting, positioning, power and software as one system. Use the TOKNAV installation videos to make the equipment list concrete.
| Task | Equipment family in the materials | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Line-based depth survey | TBoat10/20-A · TSBES single-beam | Current sounder specification, loaded draft, minimum usable range, positioning input and export. |
| Two-frequency depth observations | TBoat20-G · dual-frequency single-beam | Exact sounder revision, the role of each frequency, usable bottom returns and required depth reference. |
| Swath bathymetry | Multibeam installation shown in the tutorial | Sonar model, navigation/attitude inputs, timing, offsets, sound velocity, calibration and processing software. |
| Underwater imaging | TBoat10/20-D · ES-series or TFSS-4510 side-scan options | Select the specific option; confirm mounting, imaging range, georeferencing and target verification. |
| Velocity profiles and discharge | TBoat20-E · RIV-series ADCP | Frequency/configuration, depth cells, navigation reference, moving-bed assessment and discharge-processing method. |
| Water-column sound velocity | TSVP profiler | Deployment method, profile location and time, export and association with the sonar data. |
This is a planning map based on supplied product materials, not a statement that every sensor option is included or fits every vessel. Confirm the current hardware revision and complete bill of materials. A sound-velocity sensor mounted at the sonar and a water-column profiler have different roles.

Watch video and read the steps →Six items to include in the equipment list
- Vessel and mounting: boat model, sensor bracket, permanent service mounting, loaded draft and lowest installed component.
- Sonar or ADCP: exact model, selected configuration, interface documentation and a current specification sheet.
- Navigation: positioning and, where required, heading/attitude inputs, correction access, timing and measured offsets.
- Power and connections: equipment-specific voltage, power budget, regulators, connectors, waterproof entries and cable support.
- Acquisition and processing: software versions, licenses, computer, raw recording and agreed export formats.
- Commissioning and handover: installation checks, calibration where applicable, field checks, training and retained records.
From shallow-water planning to quality checks
Check the complete operating envelope rather than using vessel draft alone. Agree how unmeasured areas, interpolation and rejected observations will appear in the delivery. A connected sensor is the beginning of commissioning, not its acceptance result.
Send your task, even if you have not chosen a sensor
Share your country, waterway, approximate depth range and required output. Include a preferred payload only if it is already specified.
