The SeaOwl-XTi is a 2000m rated vehicle with a six degrees of freedom manoeuvrability allowing it to access the tightest of spaces.
Equipped with Saab Seaeye’s advanced iCON™ intelligent control system and a high frequency, high voltage, power supply system the SeaOwl-XTi is a highly agile and powerful observation vehicle.
The vehicle is designed to accommodate a wide range of quick-change tooling skids including a five-function manipulator, cleaning and NDT skids. The surface equipment can be provided as free standing units or integrated into a control cabin.
Seven thrusters and six degrees of freedom provide a stable and highly dexterous platform for accessing tight spaces.
Compact and with a variety of sensor and tooling options designed to deliver results for any inspection or IRM project.
Saab Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system features self-diagnostics and control via touch screens.
The SeaOwl-XTi ROV is powered by a floor-standing high voltage, high frequency, power supply unit. Additional power supplies are available for TMS options.
Pilot Control Units include touch screens running the graphical user interface (GUI) for vehicle power and control; flight screen monitors that display data and video transmitted via Fibre Optic multiplexers and a CWDM; surface control units for remote control of the PSUs and a hand control unit for the ROV.
Additional surface equipment options include TMS foot pedals for the optional TMS, tooling hand control units, video matrix switchers and video recorders.
Operated as a free swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) for depths up to 2000 m.
Additional deployment options include an electric winch for free swimming SeaOwl-XTi or an A Frame Launch and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs equipped with a TMS.
ROV rated to 2000 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and three vertical thrusters, electronics pod, two LED lights, four high resolution cameras, a compass and a depth sensor for vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
