The high power compact electric work class vehicle.

The Leopard is an exceptionally powerful electric work class vehicle with a minimal 20ft x 8ft LARS footprint. It is fitted with up to 11 thrusters to provide a forward thrust of over 500kgf, has a 200kg payload and is controlled by Saab Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system. 

A large open payload within the chassis allows for the installation of specially designed sliding trays equipped with survey sensors or tooling options. A wide range of tooling skids make the Leopard a versatile system capable of performing a range of work tasks in even the harshest of environments at depths of up to 3000m.

Advanced control
Advanced vehicle autopilots for heading, depth, pitch and roll, and altitude compliment Saab Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system that allows the system to control, self-diagnose and log data from system devices. 

Competitive
An electric vehicle with eleven powerful thrusters, a large payload and the advanced control features of iCON™ give the Leopard a competitive edge over larger hydraulic vehicles.

Flexible
Designed for work at depths of 2000m or 3000m and fitted with a wide range of survey sensors and heavy duty tooling options.
