The Falcon concept is the most successful underwater electric robotic system of its class and is proven in numerous intricate and demanding missions across many commercial, security and scientific sectors.
Equipped with Saab Seaeye's advanced iCON™ intelligent control system the Falcon-DR provides exceptional vehicle control and diagnostic data as well as the ability to customise the pilot display and enable features such as station keeping.
The Falcon-DR is lightweight, sized just over one metre long and is rated to a depth of 1000m.
