AUV HUGIN

HUGIN is the most successful commercial Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) available. It combines IHO quality positioning with the highest resolution sensors on the market. HUGIN collects data from many different sensors concurrently, providing a comprehensive geophysical dataset from a single mission. HUGIN is equipped with swappable batteries and removable data storage enabling continuous operations. Flexible and Comprehensive Data Collection The HUGIN AUV System is a multi-role vehicle capable of collecting high resolution data for commercial, scientific and defense applications. It is the most flexible AUV available on the market, capable of carrying a wide array of sensors, including synthetic aperture sonars, multi-beam echo sounders, cameras, lasers, sub-bottom profilers and environmental/scientific sensors. Since the introduction in the 1990s, HUGIN AUVs have completed more commercial surveys than any other AUV and continues to deliver World leading performance. Advanced In-Mission Capabilities HUGIN also processes data in-mission, providing an autonomous pipe tracking capability, terrain navigation and target recognition. This makes the HUGIN the most flexible and productive platform for everything from geophysical surveys to mine countermeasures. Continuous Evolution and Deployment Flexibility HUGIN has been continuously evolving since development began in 1991. From the first commercial survey in 1997, KONGSBERG and our partners at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment (FFI) have been at the forefront of underwater robotic technology.
