Kongsberg Discovery To Provide US Navy with Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
Kongsberg Discovery was awarded a contract to deliver HUGIN Autonomous Underwater Vehicle capabilities for the U.S. Navy.
Per the contract, the U.S. Navy would acquire HUGIN Endurance and HUGIN Superior deep-water AUV systems.
Kongsberg Discovery offers unmatched and proven Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) experience spanning over 30 years.
HUGIN Endurance, one of the newest members in the HUGIN AUV family, enables unsupervised shore-to-shore operations over a 1,200 nm range.
HUGIN Superior, the workhorse of KONGSBERG’s HUGIN AUV family and the deep-water industry standard, is a 70-hour endurance vehicle.
Both vehicles have KONGSBERG’s proven sensors providing IPoE, Mine countermeasure, Seabed Warfare, and seafloor mapping capabilities.
HUGIN Endurance expands these capabilities by providing capacity for further payload integration and range.
KONGSBERG has supported the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in various forms since 1892.
KONGSBERG Discovery’s U.S. team specialises in delivering and integrating underwater acoustic systems, UUVs, and uncrewed surface systems.
