CHC Navigation Unveils RiverStar ADCP 1200/600: Advanced Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers for Precision Hydrological Surveys

Shanghai, China – October 8, 2024 - CHC Navigation (CHCNAV), a global leader in geospatial technologies, announces the launch of the RiverStar ADCP 1200/600 series, advanced Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers designed for high-accuracy hydrological surveys. With innovative 5-beam technology and versatile deployment options, the RiverStar series delivers exceptional water flow measurement and analysis performance across diverse environments.

"The release of our RiverStar 1200/600 ADCP series further expands CHCNAV's range of hydrographic sensors for marine surveying. Combined with our Apache series USVs, they enhance the capabilities of CHCNAV's complete marine survey ecosystem," said Taxia Wang, CHC Navigation's Product Manager.

The RiverStar ADCP 1200/600, a high-accuracy advanced acoustic doppler current profiler with a 5-beam solution and 300kHz measurement for shallow and deep waters.

High-Precision Measurement Capabilities
Using a 5-beam solution and 300kHz central depth measurement, the RiverStar series achieves superior accuracy in water depths ranging from 0.3m to 180m, making it suitable for a wide range of hydrologic applications. Their innovative hardware design significantly reduces noise, improving the signal-to-noise ratio by 5dB.

Advanced Features for Optimal Performance
The RiverStar ADCP 1200/600's automatic measurement mode eliminates the need to configure flow parameters manually. The instruments have an improved signal-to-noise ratio and can automatically switch to Pulse Coherent Signal mode in shallow and low flow conditions for consistent data quality in various environments.

Versatile Deployment Options
The RiverStar series is designed for flexible deployment on a variety of platforms including USVs, trimarans, cable towed platforms, motorized survey vessels, and channel buoys. This versatility allows for effective use in a wide range of hydrologic survey scenarios.

Comprehensive Software Ecosystem
CHCNAV provides a complete software solution for the RiverStar series, including HydroProfiler for PC for data acquisition and analysis, and EasySail for Android for real-time data monitoring in the field when used with the CHCNAV Apache 4 USV. The system supports custom page layouts, data output, and integration with external echo sounders.
