Seascan is a lightweight Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) from Exail developed for subsea inspection, mine identification, and underwater reconnaissance operations in demanding maritime environments. Designed for exceptional hovering precision and stability in strong currents and rough waters, the battery-powered vehicle combines high-definition imaging, forward-looking sonar, and advanced maneuverability for accurate underwater target inspection and reacquisition. Its compact and portable architecture enables deployment from a wide variety of vessels, launch and recovery systems, and unmanned surface platforms for flexible mission execution.
Engineered for mine countermeasure and inspection missions, Seascan integrates multidirectional thrusters, auto-depth, and auto-track functionality to support precise navigation and automated target approach capabilities. The ROV utilizes rechargeable Li-Ion battery power together with a slim optical fiber tether for real-time sensor communication while eliminating the limitations of traditional power umbilicals. NATO standards compliance for acoustic and magnetic discretion enables operation in sensitive mine warfare environments, while integration into Exail’s UMIS ecosystem allows coordinated multi-drone deployment, mission planning, and operational management through the Umisoft interface.
