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 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.
With Saab Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system featuring self-diagnostics and control via touch screens.
Highly manoeuvrable vehicle designed for work in strong currents and up to 2000 m depth.
Designed as an inspection vehicle or light work vehicle with a range of tooling skids for additional tooling options.
The Cougar XTi is an intelligent iCON™ based Electric Vehicle. It is equipped with electric propulsion and compatible with industry standard sensors and hydraulic tooling as well as SAAB Seaeye’s current and future range of electric tooling solutions. It is highly powerful and versatile, making it capable of meeting extremely demanding applications.
Pilot Control Units include touch screens running the graphical user interface (GUI) for vehicle power and control; system diagnostics including remote access for technical support; flight screen monitors that display data and video transmitted via Fibre Optic multiplexers and a CWDM, and a hand control unit for ROV.
Additional surface equipment includes Tooling PSU, TMS foot pedals for the optional TMS, hand control units for tooling options, and various video display and recording options.
Available as a free swimming ROV or in conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS).
ROV rated to 2000 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. Station Keeping is available as an option with a DVL fitted.
