The Cougar-XT Compact, depth rated to 300m, is the shallow water version of the Cougar-XT. An extremely powerful vehicle, the Cougar-XT Compact is ideal for inspection applications where strong tidal currents are experienced.
The smaller chassis significantly reduces drag which, in combination with a high-performance thruster arrangement and a small diameter tether, offers unrivalled performance for its size and class.
Shallow water inspection vehicle with proven handling capabilities in strong currents and in tight spaces.
Low profile and lightweight designed to reduce drag and minimise the effect of current.
Selection of tooling options designed for easy integration and to deliver results for any shallow water project.
Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface Control Unit supplied as free standing units or fitted inside an air conditioned control container. An additional tooling power supply option is available.
Surface Equipment includes Hand Control Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors. An additional hand control unit is available for systems fitted with a manipulator skid.
Cabin Junction Box for connections between the surface and subsea. Including Twisted Pair connection for data and video transmission. Fibre Optic MUX upgrades available.
Operated as a free swimming ROV for depths up to 300 m.
ROV rated to 300 m fitted with four horizontal thrusters and two vertical thrusters supplied with 500 Volts DC, electronics pod, four LED lights, two high resolution cameras, a compass and a depth sensor for vehicle auto heading and auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an option when an altimeter is fitted.
