The Seaeye Cougar-XTi is a development of the successful Seaeye Cougar-XT, proven worldwide in demanding applications and recognised for its capability to operate effectively as a compact inspection, or light work ROV.

The system is now based on the Saab Seaeye’s iCON™ ecosystem which is an advanced distributed control and power distribution system that provides features such as advanced pilot aids and diagnostics to increase reliability and maintainability. The iCON™ ecosystem also provides a roadmap for further developments in automation and digitalisation including features such as remote telepresence control from shore via satellite or 4G communications, making the system future ready for current and further software advances.

The Cougar-XTi is a highly flexible and extremely powerful electric ROV, depth rated to 2000 m. The ROV is fitted with six 500 Volt DC thrusters that provide exceptional thrust for stable vehicle operations in high current environments.

The vehicle has a large payload and is designed to accommodate a wide range of quick-change tooling skids making it ideal for survey work, IRM, drill support, light construction projects and salvage support operations. Without a tooling skid, it remains a very compact inspection vehicle for access inside complex structures.

The surface equipment for the Cougar-XTi can be provided as free-standing units or integrated into a control cabin.

The Seaeye Cougar-XTi leads a new generation of compact, highly flexible and extremely powerful electric ROVs that offer users the ability to undertake a wider range of demanding tasks at lower operating costs.
