Type: Partnership · Technology: Oil Gas · Country: Norway · Announced: 2026-06-10
PXGEO 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 includes testing and verification of autonomous inspection capabilities, with the first call-off already underway nearshore in Norway. During the trial, the Sabertooth vehicle will autonomously dock and inspect subsea infrastructure in autonomous underwater vehicle mode using onboard sonar and cameras. This project represents PXGEO's first commercial contract in the autonomous subsea inspection segment, marking a strategic entry into a market where unmanned operations are becoming standard practice.
