Kongsberg Maritime

Kongsberg Maritime is a Norwegian maritime-technology manufacturer whose portfolio spans ship control, navigation, automation, propulsion, positioning, simulation, deck machinery, naval and coast-guard systems, and lifecycle services. The company is headquartered in Kongsberg, Norway, and since April 2026 has traded as an independent listed company on Euronext Oslo Bors under the ticker KMAR.

Kongsberg Maritime develops, integrates, and supports vessel technologies for shipowners, shipyards, operators, research fleets, navies, and coast guards. Its public product architecture is broader than the support-equipment records currently connected here: bridge and control systems, automation, electrical power, propulsion, dynamic positioning, maneuvering, simulation, digital services, ship design, and naval systems all sit inside the maritime portfolio.

The catalog connection is concentrated in ocean-survey and subsea autonomy systems rather than weapons effects. Kongsberg Maritime appears as the manufacturer behind a published multibeam sounding-system record tied to Kongsberg EM-series sonar equipment, and it is also the sourced manufacturer for HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicles used in mine-countermeasures, hydrography, research, subsea survey, and other underwater missions.

Corporate status changed materially in 2026. Kongsberg Gruppen proposed a demerger and listing of the maritime business in October 2025, and the shares in KM ASA began trading on Euronext Oslo Bors on April 23, 2026. Current Kongsberg Maritime material describes the company as independent after the demerger while retaining its maritime name, customer relationships, and support organization.

Kongsberg Maritime's current public material reflects the post-demerger company, while some product and historical sources were published before the 2026 separation from Kongsberg Gruppen. The manufacturer page limits itself to manufacturer, product, and corporate context and does not add conflict-use claims.

HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicle, Autonomous underwater vehicle, Support Equipment

HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicleAutonomous underwater vehicleBuilt in: NorwayHUGIN is a Norwegian autonomous underwater-vehicle family developed by FFI and Kongsberg Maritime for subsea survey, hydrography, offshore inspection, salvage search, and naval missions such as mine countermeasures and seabed warfare support. The family spans configurable HUGIN vehicles, HUGIN Superior, and long-range HUGIN Endurance designs that combine synthetic-aperture sonar, multibeam mapping, inertial navigation, launch-and-recovery equipment, and autonomous mission execution rather than a weapon payload.

Medium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding system, Hydrographic survey system, Support Equipment

Medium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding systemHydrographic survey systemBuilt in: NorwayMedium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding system is a shipboard hydrographic survey sonar class used for bathymetric mapping in coastal and mid-depth waters. Xiamen University lists a Kongsberg EM 710 1° x 1° fit under the Chinese medium- and shallow-water designation, while Kongsberg describes the EM 710 as a configurable 70-100 kHz multibeam echo sounder for high-resolution seabed mapping. Haixun 08 is documented carrying medium- and shallow-water multibeam systems in a GONDOLA structure alongside a deep-water multibeam system.
