Saab Seaeye
Designs and builds electric remotely operated vehicles and subsea robotic systems for inspection, intervention, and survey work.
Saab Seaeye stands as a world leader in electric underwater robotics, making and supporting robotic systems for use in demanding underwater environments. Its core business covers the design and manufacture of electric underwater vehicles and related equipment that carry out complex missions beneath the surface. The portfolio runs broad: underwater vehicles, electric manipulators, deployment systems, control cabins, defence vehicles, and Hydro-Lek tooling. Product categories cover work class remotely operated vehicles, inspection and observation ROVs, survey ROVs, autonomous underwater vehicles, and tooling for remote and subsea tasks. The company builds its technology around electric power, intelligent control, and sustainability, with systems trusted in tough environments and built to improve safety and performance in underwater operations. Saab Seaeye serves a wide range of sectors, among them oil and gas, renewables, telecoms, salvage, hydro and civil engineering, aquaculture, marine science and academia, seabed minerals, nuclear, leisure and tourism, civil security and emergency, and military and defence. It therefore supplies underwater robotic solutions across commercial, scientific, industrial, and defence markets rather than serving one industry alone. Its vehicles handle observation, inspection, environmental work, and other underwater tasks, and the systems get built for complex missions in some of the toughest environments on the planet. A distinctive feature of the company: electric underwater robotics rather than hydraulic alternatives. The Seaeye eM1-7 electric manipulator illustrates that approach, with advanced control, modular electric joints, diagnostics, precision, and higher reliability. Saab Seaeye offers launch and recovery systems for safe area or Zone 2 operations, in A-frame, crane, and winch configurations. The business therefore combines vehicle platforms, manipulators, deployment hardware, control solutions, and tooling into an integrated set of underwater robotic capabilities. Vehicles, manipulators, launch and recovery hardware and tooling come from one supplier, so an operator can specify a work class ROV, the electric manipulator it carries and the A-frame, crane or winch that puts it in the water as a single package.
