Seaeye Leopard
The High Power Compact Electric Work Class ROV
The Leopard is an exceptionally powerful electric work class vehicle with a minimal 20ft x 8ft LARS footprint. It is
fitted with 11 thrusters to provide a forward thrust of over 500kgf, has a 240kg payload and is controlled by Saab
Seaeye's iCON™ intelligent control system.
A large open payload within the chassis allows flexible reconfiguration of the vehicle by installing combinations of
specially designed tooling, survey and navigation sleds. A 1000kg through-frame lift and 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.

System Overview
• The Leopard ROV is powered by a floor-standing high voltage, high frequency power supply unit. Additional
power supplies are available for tooling and TMS options.
• The ROV can be fitted with Schilling Orion 7P + 4R Manipulators together with a compact Integrated
Hydraulic Power Unit (IHPU) based circuit including a valve pack with seven bi-directional rate valves.
Additionally, for typical intervention and work class tasks such as cutting, grinding, water jetting and dredging
an auxiliary 3000VAC high power hydraulic work pack can be fitted.
• Surface control hardware includes touch screens running the graphical user interface (GUI) for vehicle power
and control; system diagnostics including remote access for technical support; flight screen monitors that
display data and video transmitted via Fibre Optic
multiplexers and a CWDM, and a hand control unit
for the ROV.
• Additional surface equipment options include TMS
foot pedals for the optional TMS, tooling hand control
units, video equipment and recording/eventing
systems.
• Available as a free swimming ROV or in conjunction
with a Type 8 Tether Management System (TMS) or
a Top Hat TMS.
• ROV rated up to 3000m fitted with eight horizontal
and three vertical SM9 thrusters supplied with 500
Volts DC, an electronics pod with fibre optic
multiplexers and a CWDM, up to ten LED lights on
four channels, cameras, a depth sensor, and a
compass pod with integrated Magneto-resistive
compass, accelerometers and gyros with pitch and
roll outputs for vehicle auto heading, depth, pitch and
roll. Auto altitude is available as an option when an
altimeter is fitted. Station Keeping with nudge
controls is available as an option when a compatible
DVL and/or INS is fitted.
• Standard vehicle interfaces include connections for up to six composite cameras, fifteen auxiliaries including
six Gb Ethernet channels on a dedicated 2.5G link, high power 24VDC and 48VDC interfaces supporting the
latest advanced survey and imaging equipment, a copper signal core for CP reference, and trigger interfaces
supporting Responder Transponders, PPS and timing of Acoustic devices. A spare fibre and CWDM fibre
wavelengths provide options for survey multiplexer bottles and HD/UHD/4K video cameras.
• 110VAC equipment is supported through an optional subsea 350W output pure sine wave Inverter pod
powered from a dedicated 24VDC interface on the ROV Epod, or a 2kW output Transformer pod powered
from a surface 3kV 50/60Hz Tooling Supply.
• The surface video architecture is based on modern digital HD/UHD broadcast standards and includes a
20x20 SD/HD/UHD video switcher and 8x8 HDMI switcher (with control through the iCON touchscreen GUI)
and a single channel HD Pilot Video Overlay.
• Video options include up to six Subsea Composite Video interfaces, two HD-SDI Video over Coax interfaces,
surface decoders for IP Video cameras, HD/4K monitors and display splitters, and SD/HD/4K digital video
recorders and overlays.
• An optional Onshore Piloting remote operator station enables robust over-the-horizon control and piloting of
the ROV and TMS.
