Saab Seaeye Falcon DR
Basic Saab Seaeye Falcon DR ROV
SeaView System’s 1000m Saab Seaeye Falcon DR Remotely Operated Vehicle is fitted with a fiber optic data transmission system and custom power handling equipment. The Falcon uses 4 vectored thrusters for horizontal propulsion in addition to a vertical thruster. By using SeaView Systems’ in house developed lifting umbilical winch and deployment cage system we have successfully dived to 1000msw (3300ft). In addition to deep vertical dives we are able to perform deep, long distance pipeline inspections such as hydroelectric penstocks and aqueducts out to 10 000ft.
The entire system is set up for air-freight as three packages with a total weight of approximately 2500lbs (1200kgs).
