Saab Seaeye

For over 30 years our systems have operated in some of the most hostile environments on the planet and to depths of nearly two miles below the surface of the world's oceans. Our pioneering technology has revolutionised the underwater robotics industry. In turbulent waters and pitch darkness, these remarkable vehicles can undertake missions that would be impossible by any other means. Tasks that range from gathering fragile Roman pottery, to recovering torpedoes; and from filming bioluminescent creatures, to creating detailed 3D scans of dam structures. Rapid advances in miniaturisation and intelligent control architecture are creating ever smaller and smarter robotic systems that are more agile and more powerful, and bring advanced technology to ever more complex tasks. Winning a worldwide reputation for creating highly sophisticated technology that is trusted to work at a diverse range of tasks in the most hazardous conditions is our proudest achievement. Over 80 percent of our systems are exported across the globe and used in diverse sectors that include oil and gas, renewables, marine science, aquaculture, hydro engineering, undersea mining, salvage, telecoms, nuclear, leisure, emergency and defence. Our parent company SAAB AB employs 14,000 people in over 30 countries.
