About

About Seascan

Seascan is a streamlined tethered remotely operated vehicle used to approach and inspect underwater mine-like contacts. Its compact body carries optical and sonar sensing for close-range identification while the operator remains at a safe distance.

Exail integrates Seascan into mine-countermeasure workflows alongside detection vehicles, command systems and disposal assets. The vehicle is designed for precise manoeuvring around a target and transmission of identification data to the mission team.
