Falcon Eye Technology and Norbit Security Win Underwater Security Contract
Falcon Eye Technology has been awarded a contract to integrate NORBIT Security Sonars for the protection of a prominent cultural venue in the Abu Dhabi.The end-user’s security team also selected Norbit sonar systems to protect its waterfront facility.Norbit’s portfolio of security sonars enables them to secure a complex perimeter across a mix of ultra-shallow and deeper water environments, offering the ability to detect, track, and respond to potential underwater threats.
Saab UK Celebrates 40 Years of Subsea Robotics
energy infrastructure in crocodile infested waters in IndonesiaSaab’s focus on safety-led innovation is reflected in the Seaeye portfolio, which ranges from high‑performance ROVs such as Seaeye SR20 all‑electric workclass ROV, Seaeye Leopard and Seaeye Cougar‑XTi, to the rapidly deployable Seaeye Falcon. Advanced solutions including Sabertooth, a hybrid AUV/ROV, and the eM1‑7 electric manipulator, further extend operational reach, dexterity and control, supporting safer and more efficient subsea operations across a wide range of environments.As the subsea domain becomes increasingly strategic, Saab
SeaBot Maritime, GRi Simulations and Frontier Robotics Feature Human-AI Autonomous Maritime Training Platform
.VROVAt the core of the platform is GRi Simulation’s VROV (Virtual Remotely Operated Vehicle) system, a real-time marine operations simulator used globally for subsea training. For the project, GRi configured VROV to create a digital twin of an offshore wind farm inspection using a Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV. Monopile structures were populated with randomized inspection faults including corrosion, marine growth, anode damage and subsea cable defects, ensuring no two simulated missions are identical. Environmental variables such as sea state, current, turbidity and sonar noise can be adjusted to reflect

Subsea Expo 2026 to Showcase "Next Wave" of Underwater Innovation
the exhibition hall at the event, where they will showcase the latest technologies from across the underwater industry, which is worth USD$12.66 billion (£9.4 billion) annually to the UK economy. Highlights of the exhibition space will include RockSalt Subsea's Fast Rescue Daughter Craft (FRDC) Falcon 1 and Tool Tech's Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Stealth Skid. Global Underwater Hub will also host a free-to-attend networking drinks reception prior to the conference and exhibition opening on Tuesday, February 3, from 6pm-8:30pm at Union Kirk in the heart of Aberdeen’s city center
Saab Delivers Another Seaeye Falcon ROV to Subsea Specialist
Saab UK has delivered its 600th Seaeye Falcon remotely operated vehicle (ROV) produced in Fareham, built for international subsea specialist DISA International.The latest addition joins DISA’s growing fleet of Saab Seaeye vehicles and contributes to DISA’s high-performance inspection and survey operations across Europe.The newly delivered Falcon is already at work supporting offshore wind energy operations in Germany, where it is conducting balance of plant inspections and general visual inspections (GVI).The vehicle will soon be deployed to further projects in the Netherlands and Belgium
UCO Grows Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV Fleet
Underwater Contracting (UCO), already owner of the world’s largest fleet of Saab Seaeye Falcon ROVs, has added to its pool through the purchase of five new machines to give it a total of 38 Falcon systems.The Aberdeen, Scotland-headquartered company, a provider of underwater services to the offshore energy, inspection, construction, and aquaculture markets, has expanded its fleet in response to major new multi-year contract wins across all sectors which will see it provide a range of services in Europe, North America and the Middle East.In addition, UCO has made significant investment in additiona
Seaeye Falcon Gets to Work in Japan's Offshore Wind Industry
Japan’s expanding offshore wind industry has added a further Seaeye Falcon underwater robot as a key operational resource for working in complex environments.Tokyo based systems provider Marimex says Japan’s wind power construction operators value the Falcon for being a compact and powerful robot that is ideally suited for shallow waters and strong currents.The small footprint of the metre-sized Falcon is also important for offshore energy operators as construction is carried out using fleets of small service vessels needed in shallow waters. Growth in Japan’s offshore wind power
DST Taps Seaeye Falcon for Resarch, Offshore Energy
Italy’s DST (Deep Sea Technology) selected a 1000m-rated Saab Seaeye Falcon DR robotic vehicle to support archaeological research and offshore energy.The Seaeye Falcon DR will be employed by Naples-based DST, a commercial diving business, across its operations supporting offshore energy and maritime archaeology in both shallow and deep waters. The Falcon package includes a Tritech Super SeaPrince sonar and skid-mounted five function manipulator and rope cutter.“The Falcon DR will extend our operational capabilities,” says Alessandro Scuotto, CEO of DST. “It will operate in both
