KONGSBERG to Supply AUVS to Polish Navy
Kongsberg Maritime (KONGSBERG) won a contract from Polish shipbuilder Remontowa Shipbuilding SA (RSB) to supply three shipsets of KONGSBERG HUGIN AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) systems and related HiPAP positioning and communication systems for three newbuild warships for the Polish Navy.
The total contract value is over €10M, with the KONGSBERG equipment intended for the next three vessels in the Kormoran II Mine-Countermeasures (MCM) vessel programme. These three ships will be commissioned from 2026 to 2027.
The three HUGIN/HiPAP shipsets will be delivered to the yard over the next four years to match the new vessel delivery schedule. This new contract follows on from previous contracts for the successful integration of HUGIN and HiPAP systems on the first three vessels in the Kormoran II programme by Kongsberg Maritime and RSB.
KONGSBERG HUGIN Autonomous Underwater Vehicles are marine robots offering autonomous remote subsea search and survey capability. These free-swimming autonomous underwater vehicles are characterised by manoeuvrability and stability for high-quality data collection. Hydrodynamic shape, accurate instruments, and excellent battery capacity make these AUVs suitable for governments and militaries worldwide.
The HUGINs aboard the Kormoran II vessels will benefit from Synthetic Aperture Sonar for long-range, high-resolution imagery, among other features.
