New HUGIN for the University of Gothenburg to Replace “Ran”

The purchase contract is currently being signed for the HUGIN underwater vehicle with a 3000-meter range, which will replace “Ran”, lost under an Antarctic glacier in 2024. A major donation from Voice of the Ocean, along with insurance funds, now enables researchers at the University of Gothenburg to plan new expeditions.

HUGIN: Safeguarding our critical undersea infrastructure

From the fibre-optic cables that connect the world to the pipelines that power it, we are becoming increasingly dependent on these invisible assets. These critical subsea infrastructures are vulnerable, and monitoring them is no small task. Fortunately, there are various tools that make the job easier. The HUGIN family is one of them.

Joining forces with Aker Solutions in protecting critical infrastructure

Kongsberg Discovery and Aker Solutions are joining forces to showcase a drone (UAV) detection system in Stavanger, using Kongsberg’s Drone Detection Radar. This marks the beginning of a broader rollout of infrastructure products in the North Sea to enhance situational awareness around offshore assets and transit lanes. 

Driving multibeam innovation with FEMME 2026

Kongsberg Discovery has now issued a call for papers for FEMME 2026, providing a unique stage for third-party multibeam specialists to engage with this niche global gathering.
