Task and integration scope
Applications and configuration

The brochure describes a waterproof housing and anti-entanglement design. This illustration does not identify a verified delivered thruster or prove resistance to all weeds. Specify standard 1 kW or optional 3 kW propulsion in the quotation.
Application scope
Survey and scanning
The manufacturer presents ORCALINK-X for survey and scanning. Define the required measurements, sensor package and data outputs before choosing the configuration.
Instrument-equipped surface missions
The large cabin and adjustable mounting structure are described for different mission instruments. Suitability for your exact monitoring or sampling hardware is unconfirmed, not inherited from Orcalink's option list.
Selection limits
Consider another platform if equipment exceeds the documented 100 kg equipment-only payload or cannot meet clearance, power, mounting, link and operating requirements. Confirm propulsion before comparing speed or endurance.
Documented vehicle equipment
Vehicle functions
Intelligent navigation, automatic/manual operation and an HD camera are listed as equipped. Actual hardware, software and communication package must be confirmed.
Mounting structure
The manufacturer describes adjustment without disassembly or tools and a large instrument compartment. This does not establish a verified installation of any third-party instrument.
Standard propulsion record
The table lists 2.5 m/s maximum at 1 kW. DC brushless thrusters are described with waterproof housing and anti-entanglement features, without a universal obstruction guarantee.
Optional equipment and integration
Higher-power propulsion
Optional 3 kW configuration is listed with a 4 m/s maximum speed. Confirm battery, propulsion equipment, endurance and final delivered configuration.
Mission instruments
Select the precise survey, monitoring or sampling devices and interfaces with the manufacturer. This X brochure does not provide a complete standard/optional instrument list.
Control and shipment scope
Confirm ground station, communication hardware, batteries, charger, mounting accessories and software. Pictured accessories and Orcalink's H30/cloud/options list are not automatic X-model inclusions.
Interfaces to confirm
Provide instrument model, dimensions, weight, center of gravity, mount, electrical load and data protocols. Tool-free adjustment and cabin capacity do not establish tested third-party compatibility; interface and integration evidence remains needed.
A brochure equipment reference is not a final delivery list. Specify each instrument, controller and accessory in the quotation.
