R&D&I projects in underwater technology

SAES is a company committed to Research, Development, and Innovation in the underwater domain. Most of our products are entirely developed in Spain by our own technicians and with the company's own resources, without external technological dependence. Additionally, it plays an important role in technology transfer by presenting its products at major international events and fairs and collaborating with various organisations and companies.

At the forefront of underwater signal processing.

							Innovation at SAES is understood in a transversal manner and as a lever for change. Therefore, it is applied not only in the technological aspect but also in management and across all dimensions of the organisation.

Innovation and the use of the latest technologies translate into high-quality products, capabilities, and performance.

The goal is to create valuable solutions for our clients and contribute to the development of knowledge.
