Falcon

The professional portable underwater vehicle

The Falcon is the world’s most successful underwater electric robotic system of its class. Powered by a single-phase 110/230 VAC supply, Falcon is lightweight and portable for easy deployment, and comes rated to a depth of 300m or 1000m for the DR version. Five powerful thrusters provide precise control and maintain a stable platform in strong currents and turbulent waters. An open frame construction and distributed intelligence enable easy attachment of a range of sophisticated sensors, sonars, tooling and accessories. Using touchscreen and joystick technology, the user-friendly configuration is combined with intelligent control software to provide improved vehicle control and diagnostic data as well as the ability to customise the pilot display and enable features such as station keeping.
