7/14/2023 0 Comments Hugin 2014The payload sensors include multi-beam echo-sounders (MBE), sub-bottom profilers (SBP), sidescan sonars (SSS), conductivity temperature density (CTD), turbidity sensor, acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP), and fishery research sonars. The HUGIN 1000 autonomous underwater vehicle can be equipped with multiple advanced acoustic payloads to deliver high performance in a variety of military applications. The AUV offers operator supervision, increased position accuracy and mission reprogramming capabilities when operated in supervised mode.Ī rechargeable, pressure-tolerant 15kWh lithium polymer battery is installed to provide extended endurance for the AUV. Modes that the AUV can be operated are fully-autonomous, semi-autonomous and supervised. It can be launched and recovered by a proven, hydraulically-operated stinger-based launch and recovery system installed at the stern. Its weight varies between 650kg and 850kg, depending upon the configuration. The vehicle has a length of 4.5m and a diameter of 0.75m. It is made from carbon fibre laminate material and syntactic foam. The HUGIN 1000 AUV features a compact design and a hydrodynamic shape. The HUGIN contract was negotiated in cooperation with ESCORT Ltd., Kongsberg Maritime’s official representative in Poland.Bluefin-21 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), United States of Americaīluefin-21, a modular autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by Bluefin Robotics, is designed to operate from a range of ships for conducting defence, commercial and scientific missions worldwide. Remontowa Shipbuilding is the prime contractor for delivering the new minehunter class vessels for the Polish Navy. Commercial applications include offshore oil and gas geophysical survey, inspection of pipelines and underwater engineering structures, environmental monitoring, hydrography and marine research. Naval applications include MCM, Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA)/Battlespace access, and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). The HUGIN concept allows integration of alternative sensors for geophysical, search and inspection purposes, subject to customer demands. It can carry several different types of high performance survey sensors for synchronised and simultaneous operation. It is capable of performing high-speed surveys with excellent navigation and payload data quality to a depth of 1000, 3000 or 4500 metres, depending on configuration. HUGIN is currently operational with several navies around the world including the Royal Norwegian Navy, the Finnish Navy and the Italian Navy, in addition to being used by commercial companies. The delivery includes the HiPAP underwater communication and positioning system, which provides USBL updates and underwater data communication with the HUGIN 1000, or other underwater vehicles. The HUGIN 1000 MR AUV has been selected as it is specifically designed for MCM operations and can detect, classify and identify mines in a single mission. Remontowa Shipbuilding (Poland) has selected Kongsberg Maritime to supply a HUGIN 1000 MR Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) and associated underwater communications and positioning equipment for mine countermeasures (MCM) applications, as part of a minehunter class vessel delivery for the Polish Navy.
