en.Wedoany.com Reported - PXGEO has signed a one-year framework agreement with Equinor to conduct autonomous subsea inspection trials using Saab's Sabertooth underwater intervention drone (UID) technology.

The agreement aims to allow the two companies to test and validate autonomous inspection capabilities, including the verification of autonomous behaviors in offshore inspection operations.

The first subsea inspection mission under the agreement has already commenced offshore Norway. During the trials, the Sabertooth vehicle operates in autonomous underwater vehicle mode, using its onboard sonar and cameras to autonomously dock and inspect subsea infrastructure.

This project marks PXGEO's first commercial contract in the field of autonomous subsea inspection.

Peter Erkers, Director of Strategy at PXGEO, stated that this is the company's first commercial contract for autonomous subsea inspection and that the right partner and platform have been chosen.

PXGEO stated that these trials represent its first step into a market where unmanned operations are increasingly becoming standard practice.
