Seaeye Falcon

The Seaeye Falcon is a compact, electric, tether-connected ROV manufactured by Saab Seaeye Ltd in Fareham, UK. It is available in 300m and 1000m depth-rated variants, features five thrusters for high maneuverability, and has been deployed globally across aquaculture, offshore wind, harbour inspection, marine survey, and scientific research applications. With over 600 units delivered and a reliability record exceeding one million hours underwater, it is a mature, widely-adopted work-class inspection ROV. As a teleoperated system, it is piloted by human operators via tether, though it includes auto-depth and auto-heading aids; one independent user noted these aids were 'pretty ordinary,' prompting a conversion to ArduSub for improved autonomous stabilization.
