Saab Seaeye

Corporate marketmarineinspectionCurated record

Vehicles run Saab Seaeye's iCON behaviour-based intelligent control architecture, which distributes intelligence to each device and enables station-keeping and reduced-pilot-workload operation. The Sabertooth is a hybrid AUV/ROV designed for autonomous long-range and resident subsea operations. Saab states the eWROV, benefitting from iCON, is capable of fully autonomous operation as well as tethered work-class intervention.
