PXGEO and Equinor have signed a one-year framework agreement to conduct advanced testing of the Saab Sabertooth. The project aims to validate the performance of this autonomous underwater vehicle in underwater infrastructure inspection tasks without requiring direct operator intervention during the mission. The initiative marks PXGEO's entry into the autonomous underwater inspection segment , a market that is gaining prominence as the offshore industry accelerates the adoption of technologies capable of reducing operating costs and improving efficiency in complex environments. As part of the agreement, an initial test campaign has already been scheduled off the coast of Norway. During the operation, the Saab Sabertooth will autonomously perform docking maneuvers before carrying out inspection tasks on underwater infrastructure . In addition, the system will operate in AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) mode, using integrated sensors to gather environmental information. Onboard equipment includes sonar systems and cameras that will provide detailed data on the condition of the inspected assets. The test will serve to verify the platform's autonomous behavior under real-world conditions and evaluate its ability to complete subsea inspection missions with a high level of independence. The Saab Sabertooth has been developed to combine autonomous navigation capabilities with underwater intervention functions. This combination allows the platform to perform tasks that traditionally required vehicles operated from support vessels. Consequently, technology could help reduce reliance on manned resources during certain offshore operations . This trend is gaining traction among energy operators seeking to optimize the management of subsea assets through automated solutions. According to Peter Erkers, Head of Strategy at PXGEO, this agreement represents the company's first commercial contract in the field of autonomous underwater inspection. The collaboration with Equinor also provides a suitable setting to validate the technology in a demanding operating environment. The experience gained during testing will allow us to measure
