The Cougar-XT Compact, depth rated to 300m, is the shallow water version of the Cougar-XT. An extremely powerful vehicle, the Cougar-XT Compact is ideal for inspection applications where strong tidal currents are experienced.
The smaller chassis significantly reduces drag which, in combination with a high-performance thruster arrangement and a small diameter tether, offers unrivalled performance for its size and class.
Shallow water inspection vehicle with proven handling capabilities in strong currents and in tight spaces.
Low profile and lightweight designed to reduce drag and minimise the effect of current.
Selection of tooling options designed for easy integration and to deliver results for any shallow water project.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors. Additional hand control units are included with ROVs fitted with a manipulator system.
Cabin Junction Box for connections between the surface and subsea.
Fibre Optic MUX with Video, Serial Data and Ethernet interfaces. Additional MUX options available.
Operated as a free swimming ROV for depths up to 300 m.
ROV rated to 300 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters supplied with 500 Volts DC. The ROV pod provides interfaces for Thrusters, LED lights, multiple cameras, a depth sensor and a solid state compass, supporting vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
Deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming ROV configuration.
