SYSTEM OVERVIEW For reconnaissance and surveillance missions as well as underwater works, Saab offers the SAROV, a hybrid AUV/ROV. The SAROV can operate as an AUV, with an onboard inertial navigation system allowing the vehicle to navigate over great distances and depths. Alternatively the SAROV can be operated via a several kilometer long fibre optical tether, or a tether providing both power and real time communication for the vehicle.

THE SAROV SYSTEM The SAROV System is a complete system, including Integrated Logistic Support package components, configured to achieve costeffective operation of the system for each kind of mission. The System consists of: • The SAROV vehicle • Mission Planning & Analysis Unit • Battery Recharging System • ILS package The Dock and Release Mechanism on the vehicle gives it the capability to release the tether and redock with the tether, under water, without retrieving the vehicle to the surface. An onboard charger is used to recharge the battery while dumping data and prepare for a new mission. Whilst the battery is recharged, it is still possible to operate the vehicle in ROV mode.

CONTAINER SYSTEM To meet customer requirements for optimized flexibility, the SAROV and necessary auxiliary equipment are put into a standard container that can be placed on and operated from any craft of opportunity (COOP), e.g. a multi-role vessel or a quay.
