Our Core Business
Hidrokinetik Technologies Sdn Bhdis a bumiputera owned and family operated Unmanned Surface Vessel and Remote Operated Vehicle integrator with core competency in maritime robotics.
Applicationsinclude Subsea mapping, inspection, Search and Rescue and marine logistics
Systems developer consisting of acquisition software, hardware & firmware integration and telemetry options that are able to capture, log all parameters visually in near real-time
Payload options from single-beam to multi-beam sonars, LBL/USBL acoustic telemetry, onboard camera imaging and precise satellite positioning with motion compensators for autonomous missions.

AS TECTONIC PLATES SHIFT AND
FLOODING OCCURS DURING THE
TRANSITION, SO DOES THE ROCK
FORMATION AND ALLUVIALS.
HOWEVER, COST IS THE GREATEST
BARRIER IN ANY FORM OF
EXPLORATION
W h y d o w e n e e d A u t o n o m o u s M a p p i n g ?
Minimal hazard to personnel
Force Multiplier
Increase in productivity – Fatigue, Productivity
Remote real-time data
Able to customize mission payload at minimal cost
Able to make decision at short notice with minimal TAT
Scalable option for a wider area coverage – multiple USV or Swarm
E x i s t i n g A u t o n o m o u s S y s t e m s a n d w h a t i s t h e d i f f e r e n c e ?
USV
Payload systems are cheaper – surface units
Surface system susceptible to roll, pitch, heave, yaw
Positioning and guidance via differential satellites
Long range remote real-time data for QC
Full control of mission via shore telemetry
Flexibility on deployment and recovery
AUV
Payload systems are expensive – depth rated units
Subsea system not isolated from the surface weather
Positioning and guidance via mil spec INS/DVL (dead reckoning)
Shipborne remote snippets via acoustic beacon for QC
Full control of mission via vessel USBL telemetry
Deployment and recovery requires dedicated LARS
Benef i ts of Unmanned systems
PILOT PROJECT TO UNDERTAKE CENTRALISED COASTLINE MONITORING DATA PROGRAM FOR COASTAL GEOHAZARD MAPPING AND MINERAL EXPLORATION
● UNDERTAKEN IN COORDINATION WITH KETSA, WANGSA MINERALS SDN BHD AND THE RELEVANT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO LITTORAL ZONES WITHIN THREE (3) NAUTICAL MILES FROM SHORELINE
● IMPROVED DATA AND ASSESSMENT METHODS
● MORE FOCUSED REPORTING ON REAL TIME BASIS WITH SPECIFIC REPORTS TO DEMONSTRATE CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE
● BUILD UPON PHN (TLDM) SEABED MORPHOLOGY DATA AND INFORMATION AND INCORPORATE SEABED CLASSIFICATION, QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS AND HYDRAULIC INFORMATION
● PROVIDE BASIS FOR REGIONAL AND NATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
COASTLINE STUDIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN
● BATHYMETRY
(MULTIBEAM AND SINGLEBEAM)
● HYDRAULIC MODELLING
● SUB BOTTOM PROFILING (SEISMIC)
● WATER QUALITY
● ACOUSTIC DOPPLER CURRENT PROFILING
● SEABED CLASSIFICATION (BACKSCATTER)
● MAGNETIC / RESISTIVITY/ GRAVITY SURVEYS
● GEOHAZARD
