Norway-based international defense company Kongsberg announced that it has been awarded a contract from the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for the rapid deployment of HUGIN Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) capabilities for the U.S. Navy. As noted by the company, Kongsberg Discovery offers unmatched and proven Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) experience spanning over 30 years.
The new Subsea AUV LARS is designed to increase the launch and recovery performance of the HUGIN and HUGIN Superior AUV Systems. It can be installed in a hangar or container and operated midships to release valuable space on the aft deck.
