en.Wedoany.com Reported - Saab UK recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of its underwater robotics business, Seaeye. Since its founding in 1986, the company has continuously innovated in the field of underwater robotics and engineering, driving improvements in safety and operational efficiency in global underwater operations.
Founded in 1986, Seaeye focused on addressing the challenges and risks posed by deep-sea offshore operations. The company pioneered the development of electric remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which reduced the need for human intervention in hazardous underwater environments, enabling operators to safely complete complex tasks.
The safety philosophy has been integral to Seaeye's business since its inception and was further strengthened after it became part of the Saab Group in 2007. Leveraging the resources of this global defense and security group, Seaeye secured long-term investment support and expanded its coverage across commercial and defense markets.
Currently operating at the Saab UK campus in Fareham, Seaeye produces what it claims is the world's largest single-manufacturer range of electric ROVs. The company has delivered over 1,100 systems to 74 countries, serving 13 industries including offshore energy, critical subsea infrastructure, and marine science.
Over the past 40 years, Seaeye's technology has been proven in a variety of harsh environments. Its vehicles have assisted the Colombian Navy in surveying a long-lost 18th-century shipwreck and have been used for underwater energy infrastructure inspections in crocodile-infested waters in Indonesia.
Andy Fraser, Managing Director of Saab UK, stated that the company's long-term development reflects its ability to balance safety commitments with solving real-world operational challenges. "Seaeye's 40-year history reflects a continuous, pragmatic innovation driven by the need to keep people safe underwater. This achievement is rooted in the expertise, dedication, and creativity of the people behind the technology, whose focus on real operational challenges continues to deliver trusted capabilities to customers worldwide."
Jon Robertson, Managing Director of Seaeye at Saab UK, said this milestone is an opportunity to express gratitude to all who have supported the company's growth. "Our 40th anniversary is a celebration of the people and partners who have defined our success. Through innovation, dedication, and collaboration, our employees, customers, and suppliers have helped us grow, adapt, and lead. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we look forward to shaping the future together."
As demand for advanced underwater technology grows in offshore energy, defense, and critical infrastructure projects, Saab UK stated that Seaeye will continue to focus on developing next-generation robotic systems to meet evolving operational needs.
