Maritime Mine Countermeasures
Seamless maritime connectivity for mission-critical operations
Designed for demanding environments, MBR enables real-time data exchange between vessels, shore stations, and autonomous systems, ensuring operational clarity and control, even in contested or remote areas.
Whether coordinating multi-platform missions or streaming sensor data from uncrewed systems, MBR provides the bandwidth and resilience needed to keep operations connected, efficient, and mission-ready.
Jamming-Resistant Connectivity for Mission Assurance
In MMCM operations, secure and uninterrupted communication is non-negotiable. KONGSBERG MBR leverages advanced phased array antenna technology to create fast-moving, directed radio beams that are difficult to detect, monitor, or jam. Unlike conventional systems that radiate in all directions, MBR’s smart beamforming ensures focused transmission and reception, dramatically enhancing resilience against electronic threats. This makes MBR a trusted backbone for mission-critical data exchange in contested environments.
Seamless Multi-vessel Coordination Across Vast Distances
Mine countermeasures demand precise coordination between manned vessels, uncrewed systems, and command centers. MBR enables real-time, high-throughput communication over distances up to 300 km, supporting HD video, sensor data, and control signals without relying on satellite or cellular networks. Whether operating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or coordinating from a mothership, MBR ensures every asset stays connected, informed, and synchronized.
Rugged, Scalable, and Infrastructure-Free Deployment
Designed for the harsh realities of naval operations, MBR features a solid-state, maintenance-free design with no moving parts, ensuring long-term durability. Its plug-and-play simplicity allows rapid deployment on any platform—surface, aerial, or submersible—without the need for specialized infrastructure. With interoperable units and predictable pricing, MBR scales effortlessly across fleets and missions, offering unmatched flexibility and cost-efficiency for modern MMCM programs.

The Belgian-Dutch Mine Countermeasure program
and The Royal Danish Navy MCM program.
“We chose KONGSBERG’s MBR because it contributes to make our communication system robust and reliable, even in the most demanding maritime environments. Its ability to maintain stable, high-bandwidth connectivity over long distances — without compromising speed or mobility — is essential to the success of our autonomous operations.”
-Fabrice Bosch, Exail
FCC certified radios
MBR FCC is certified for use in the United States, unlocking new possibilities for high-speed, secure, and reliable data transfer at sea. With this certification, these MBR's can be deployed across U.S. waters, enabling seamless communication between vessels, shore stations, and autonomous systems, without applying for a license. Whether you're operating crewed or uncrewed platforms, these advanced radios are designed to keep your maritime operations connected, efficient, and future-ready.
