The 3000-m rated Sabertooth will be equipped with extended autonomous endurance and increased thrust for high speed survey and ready for the integration of advanced and high-resolution sensors for different types of applications and operations.

Jake Tompkins, CEO Modus said, “We are continuing to bring to market highly differentiated capabilities as we develop not only a fleet of autonomous vehicles but also AI and machine learning methods for integrating data, data visualization, remote vehicle control and mission planning.”

The Modus vehicle has all the advanced features of Saab’s military hybrid AUV/ROVs, combined with the Saab Seaeye technology that includes iCON intelligent control behavior-based architecture.

Sabertooth is the only roaming and hovering system with 360 degree orientation that can operate in both fully autonomous (AUV) and tethered (ROV) modes, enabling fully flexible dual operations from a single platform.
