CUI Protection: Remote Sensing Solutions for Underwater Assurance - Norway’s CUI Security Approach Illustrates Combined Industry/Navy Role in Multi-stakeholder Co-operation How USV–AUV Mothership - Operations Are Redefining Protection of Critical Underwater Infrastructure.

Forum Energy Technologies’ (FET) Subsea product line has secured a contract to provide four of its new generation work class remotely operated vehicles (ROV), the XLX EVO III, to long-term client DOF.

The Momentum™ Electric ROV was developed using a reliability‑driven, data‑informed design approach that re‑engineered the work‑class platform around electric propulsion to improve efficiency and simplify system architecture. The vehicle is designed for 30-day continuous subsea operations, enabling extended support for drilling, inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR), surveys, and construction work scopes. Featuring plug‑and‑play sensors, advanced 360-degree vision, automation, strong thrust, and high payload capacity, the Momentum™ Electric ROV delivers the power and control required for demanding work‑class operations. Offering backwards compatibility with Millennium® Plus ROV infrastructure, Momentum supports quick upgrades and scalable deployment.
