Aegir17
Long-range 360° sonar for Subsea Situational Awareness
Aegir SSA (Subsea Situational Awareness) is a family of commercial sonar systems designed to provide continuous underwater awareness for maritime security, safety, navigation, and infrastructure protection applications. Developed by KONGSBERG, the Aegir family combines proven acoustic sensing technology with compact form factors, simplified integration, and flexible deployment options.
Long-range 360° sonar
Aegir17 is a long-range, 360-degree sonar suited to larger crewed and uncrewed maritime platforms, including patrol and coastguard vessels. Its low frequency and large transducer array enable operational ranges exceeding 10 000 meters in some configurations, giving operators more time to assess underwater threats and hazards. Actual detection range depends on the target and environmental conditions.
Built on proven sonar expertise
Built on KONGSBERG’s long-standing sonar expertise, Aegir enables operators to enhance situational awareness below the waterline and supports safer navigation and informed operational decision-making. The sonar family is designed as a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution suitable for civilian, governmental, and dual-use applications with large volumes and short delivery time.
