Seaeye Cougar XT Compact
Cougar XT Compact
work-class rov
The Seaeye Cougar-XT Compact is the shallow water compact version of the field proven and extremely powerful Cougar-XT.
Proven worldwide and recognised for its capability, operators now have the ability to undertake a range of demanding observation and light work tasks at much lower operating costs.
Saab Seaeye recognised the need for a high performance ROV in the renewable energy markets, for shallow water cable laying and inspection tasks, where strong tidal currents are experienced.
The smaller chassis results in a significantly lower profile to reduce drag, in combination with a high performance thruster arrangement and a low resistance tether, offers the market an ROV system with unrivalled performance for its size and class.
Chassis
The extremely rugged polypropylene and stainless steel chassis is totally maintenance free, non corroding and self-supporting in seawater. Additional equipment can be bolted directly to the chassis for customisation.
Propulsion
Four vectored horizontal and two vertical brushless SM7 500 Volt DC thrusters provide full three-dimensional control of the Cougar-XT Compact and one of the highest thrust to weight ratios in its class.
Video System
Up to four simultaneous video channels are available (transmitted via two multimode fibres).
Lighting
The Cougar-XT Compact is fitted with four long-life LED lamps (on two individually controlled channels). They provide excellentillumination with very low power consumption, are exceptionally robust and practically maintenance free.
