Sea Fox I

Mine Identification, Inspection, Training

SeaFox I is a reusable vehicle for identification and training in the application field of mine hunting.

In this vehicle the SeaFox C warhead is replaced by ballast weight. SeaFox I uses a reusable fibre optic cable (FOC), which is dispensed from the carrier plattform. Alternatively the SeaFox I can be operated with the expandable FOC (for long range operation). In this configuration the FOC is identical to that of the SeaFox C.
