“The
choice of Seaeye Sabertooth by Modus for a future fleet of hybrid systems
confirms that our ground breaking work with the hybrid AUV/ROV technology
is now accepted on the market and we can continue to further develop this
technology, says Agneta Kammeby, head of Saab business unit Underwater
Systems. “The acquisition of the first Sabertooth vehicle from Saab is the culmination of a 2 year development and evaluation programme and we are delighted to both confirm this order and to also enter into a collaboration agreement. This differentiated dual role technology combined with our innovative operating methodologies will offer a new value proposition to the subsea market”, says Jake Tompkins, Managing Director, Modus Seabed Intervention Ltd. The Seaeye Sabertooth is a merger of the Double Eagle Sarov and Saab Seaeye technologies, resulting in a hovering hybrid AUV/ROV with deep water capability, long excursion range and a six degrees of freedom control system. It has all the advanced features of the military hybrid AUV/ROVs, combined with the rugged and proven Saab Seaeye technology. The vehicle is also capable of providing light intervention support and with a depth rating of 3000m it can be deployed for a wide range of subsea tasks. |
