With its modular design, Saab's AUV62-MR offers a level of flexibility that is superior to conventional alternatives such as vessels with a hull-mounted or towed sensor.

As a complete, autonomous system fully equipped for military purposes, the AUV62-MR is the modern choice for Mine Countermeasures (MCM). By removing men from the minefield, the vehicle provides a safe underwater solution that is capable of adapting to changing threats during naval operations.

The Safest Choice for MCM

Mine reconnaissance has historically been an extremely time and resource intensive activity for militaries. AUV62-MR operates autonomously, performing long-term mine reconnaissance missions with greater speed. With its modular design, Saab's AUV62-MR offers a level of flexibility that is superior to conventional alternatives such as vessels with a hull-mounted or towed sensor.

Covert operations

Multi-platform capability

Covert operations

Effective reconnaissance and surveillance of underwater areas is crucial to thesuccess of a military invasion by sea.

Equipped with cutting-edge information gathering capabilities, such as highly accurate positioning, the AUV62-MR can perform surveillance and reconnaissance of the underwater area immediately after deployment.

Its ability to operate autonomously from a submarine, combined with its inherent long-term endurance capability, enables the AUV62-MR to perform the whole mission covertly.

Multi-platform capability

The AUV62-MR can be launched from multiple platforms due to its flexibility and adaptable components. It is usually recovered the same way, whether by ship, submarine or shore.

The vehicle was intentionally designed to resemble a Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT), with the same mechanical and electrical interfaces, meaning there is no need for modification or integration if it is used on a submarine.

The AUV62-MR can therefore be launched directly from an HWT tube, enabling fast,effective deployment of the vehicle.

For surface ship recovery, a unique docking device retrieves the vehicle from the water and winches it back to the launch chute.

A specially designed ROV – the SUBROV – is used to recover the

vehicle when used on a submarine.

Saab is working actively to minimise the impact of products and operations on the environment and climate. An important part of this is research and development collaboration in order to develop sustainable innovations for the future.

High quality support: Saab 340 & Saab 2000

17 July 2015

Every 43 seconds a Saab 340 or Saab 2000 takes off or lands, around the clock and throughout the year in 34 countries. The aircraft fleet needs a support organisation that is always on its toes to ensure that operators can keep their planes in the air – 24/7, 365 days a year.

Out of harm’s way

15 June 2015

Navigating sea mines, challenging pirates, conducting scientific research, search and rescue. These are just some of the scenarios where an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) can perform critical tasks without putting sailors in harm's way.
