Saab Seaeye Falcon family
By Saab Seaeye
Falcon is a remotely operated underwater robot for visual inspection and carrying additional instruments.
Falcon is a remotely operated underwater robot for visual inspection and carrying additional instruments. Its standard edition has five thrusters, a colour camera and automatic depth and heading control. A surface control case houses the power supply, monitor and joystick. Sonar, manipulators and a DVL for station keeping are configuration options. The family also includes Falcon DR for greater depths; the listed dimensions and mass refer to the ordinary Falcon. Project selection should match the camera, instruments, tether route and power supply to the inspection. The selected tooling determines additional operations, so camera surveys and intervention missions need different configurations.
