Response and inspection

Visibility is only useful if action can follow

Once an anomaly is detected, timely investigation is critical – especially when infrastructure spans remote or contested waters. Effective response depends on clear situational data, trained personnel and reliable inspection technologies. Kongsberg delivers all three: a fully integrated chain from detection through to operational follow-up.

Tools designed for modern maritime realities

We offer a suite of response and inspection capabilities tailored to the maritime domain. These include high-end remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that can inspect pipelines, cables or subsea structures with precision. Surface support can be provided by existing assets or unmanned vessels. Shore-based operators are supported by visualisation software, real-time data feeds and scenario-based decision tools – including live coordination across agencies.

Built-in insight, built for scale

Post-incident, the same systems support investigation and root-cause analysis, offering timeline replays and data overlays to reconstruct events. In quieter times, the same platforms are used for routine maintenance checks and integrity verification. The result is a capability that functions both in crisis and continuity – one that can scale from offshore wind farms to international pipeline networks.
