Another superyacht security contract win for MarineGuard, a global yacht security company, sees them order a further Saab Seaeye Falcon underwater robotic vehicle as part of their security resource package.

Known for creating a ‘virtual security bubble’ around a yacht, MarineGuard, chose the Falcon as a resource for its reputation as the world’s top rated underwater robotic vehicle in its class.

Their superyacht client was also keen for a Falcon to be part of MarineGuard’s security system.

The Falcon can be fitted with a range of cameras for detailed hull inspection and deep seabed exploration, along with tools for handling items, rope cutting and cleaning.

For underwater surveillance the Falcon can be fully equipped with advanced video and sensor systems that can integrate into MarineGuard’s security network.

Proven in defense and marine science operations, the Falcon can examine a yacht’s hull, millimeter by millimeter, with its HD cameras, and descend down 1000 meters to explore the seabed below.

As an underwater workhorse the Falcon is fitted with a gripper for recovering items from the seabed, with other tools added as needed. Tools such as rope cutters for severing 15mm rope and 12mm steel wire rope, powerful manipulators and cleaning systems for keeping critical fittings clear.

As the ‘eyes underwater’ for superyacht owners, the Falcon is fitted with high definition cameras and can roam deep underwater transmitting live images direct to stateroom screens on board.

With a reliability record covering thousands of hours of undersea operations, the Falcon’s 20-year success comes from creating a powerful, highly maneuverable, multi-tasking, easy to use vehicle, depth rated to 300 and 1000 metres, enhanced with Saab Seaeye’s revolutionary iCON™ future-flexible intelligent control system, all in a handy metre-size package.

In addition to superyachts, MarineGuard’s integrated technology-based security solutions are also deployed for commercial shipping and at offshore installations.
