The Cougar-XTi is 3000m rated and features Saab Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system. The proven capabilities of the Cougar-XT combined with the use of iCON™ and a high frequency, high voltage, power supply system make the Cougar-XTi a formidable 3000m observation vehicle complete with automated self-diagnostics.
Designed to accommodate a wide range of quick-change tooling skids, the vehicle includes dual heavy duty five-function manipulators that incorporate a rope cutter. The surface equipment for the Cougar-XTi can be provided as free-standing units or integrated into a control cabin.
With Saab Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system featuring self-diagnostics and control via touch screens.
A highly manoeuvrable vehicle designed for inspection and light work at depths of up to 3000m.
Designed for work at depth with a variety of skid tooling options.
A floor standing 3kV, high frequency Power Supply Unit that provides power for the ROV and tooling with an integrated emergency stop. Includes a Line Insulation Monitor for identification and isolation of earth faults.
Pilot Control Units that include touch screens running the graphical user interface (GUI) for vehicle control and diagnostic features, Flight screen monitors that display data and video that are transmitted via Fibre Optic Multiplexers , surface control unit for remote control of the PSU, and a hand control unit for ROV.
Additional surface equipment includes a TMS PSU and TMS foot pedals for the optional TMS, hand control units for tooling options, and a Video Matrix Switcher and DVD Recorder for video outputs.
Available as a free swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) for depths up to 3000 m.
ROV rated to 3000 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters supplied with 500 Volts DC, electronics pod, four LED lights, up to four high resolution cameras, a depth sensor, and a compass pod with integrated Magneto-resistive compass, accelerometers and gyros with pitch and roll outputs for vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
