The Double Eagle is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) built by the Swedish defence company Saab Underwater Systems AB and used for the disposal of naval mines.[1]

Design

As of 2009, four versions of the ROV have been designed.[1][2]

The original version was named the Sea Eagle, and was a militarised variant of the civilian Sea Owl ROV.[1] This unit was Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, and Шаблон:Convert high, could travel at Шаблон:Convert, and dive to Шаблон:Convert.[1] These ROVs saw service with the Swedish Navy from 1984 onwards.[1]

The second version, named the Double Eagle, is larger, measuring Шаблон:Convert in length, Шаблон:Convert in width, and Шаблон:Convert in height.[1] The ROV weighs Шаблон:Convert, can dive to Шаблон:Convert, and travel at Шаблон:Convert.[1]

Current models

The Double Eagle Mark II is larger but lighter than the first Double Eagle.[1] Measuring Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, and Шаблон:Convert high, the unit weighs Шаблон:Convert, dives to Шаблон:Convert, and can reach Шаблон:Convert.[1] The Mark II entered service in 1994.[2]

The Mark III is Шаблон:Convert longer and Шаблон:Convert heavier than its predecessor.[2]

The ROV's payload can consist of scanning sonar, echo locations, doppler logs, or self-navigation systems.[2] All Double Eagles are equipped with an extendable manipulator arm, which is commonly used to place a small explosive charge on a mine.[1] The ROV can be modified to double as a self-propelled variable depth sonar: the Mark II Double Eagles fitted to the French Navy's Шаблон:Sclass2s have been altered to carry a Thales TSM 2022 sonar, while a similar upgrade is to occur to the Mark III units being acquired for the Tripartites of the Royal Netherlands Navy.[2]

The Double Eagle Mark II uses two 5 kilowatt brushless electric motors for main propulsion, and six 0.4 kilowatt brushless electric motors for fine manoeuvering.[3] Mark III ROVs have four 7 kilowatt brushless electric motors as main thrusters.Шаблон:Citation needed Double Eagles can operate in any orientation.[1]
