Saab’s Sabertooth Subsea Vehicle Featured at Goodwood Festival of Speed
Saab’s Sabertooth subsea vehicle will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed’s Future Lab exhibition from July 10-13, showcasing its groundbreaking contribution to the first-ever full 3D mapping of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance.
The exhibition at Goodwood marks the public unveiling of a 3D-printed model of Endurance, created using ultra-high-resolution imagery and laser data captured during the Endurance 22 expedition. Sabertooth, operating 3,000 meters below Antarctic ice, played a crucial role in scanning the wreck in remarkable detail, bringing the historic vessel back into public view.
The advanced autonomy, endurance, and maneuverability of Sabertooth were instrumental in the success of the expedition, facilitating the collection of crucial data that enabled the creation of the detailed model.
The story of the Endurance 22 expedition is also the subject of the award-winning documentary Endurance, which recently received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition.
The Future Lab exhibition at the Goodwood Festival of Speed showcases pioneering technology across various industries, from space exploration to subsea operations, highlighting the innovative advancements shaping the future.
