Black Hornet, Nano reconnaissance UAV, Aircraft & UAVs

2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2001 War in AfghanistanBlack HornetNano reconnaissance UAVBuilt by: Teledyne FLIR DefenseBlack Hornet is a Norwegian-origin military nano-UAV family for dismounted reconnaissance, target identification, and immediate situational awareness. Developed by Prox Dynamics and now built by Teledyne FLIR Defense, the pocket-sized system has appeared in Afghanistan patrol use and in Ukrainian service through donated Black Hornet 3 systems, while Black Hornet 4 extends the family with longer range, endurance, obstacle avoidance, and shared controller architecture with FirstLook 125.

NASAMS, Medium-range surface-to-air missile system, Air Defense

2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2020 United States-Iran ConflictNASAMSMedium-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt by: Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace / RaytheonNASAMS is a Kongsberg-Raytheon network-centric air defense family built around a Fire Distribution Center, distributed launchers, and networked sensors. Developed with the Royal Norwegian Air Force and fielded from 1994, the system evolved through the NASAMS II upgrade, which added NATO-standard integration features such as Link 16, and now supports a multi-missile mix spanning AMRAAM, AMRAAM-ER, and AIM-9X.

Naval Strike Missile, Long-range anti-ship and land-attack cruise missile, Munitions

2014 Russia-Ukraine WarNaval Strike MissileLong-range anti-ship and land-attack cruise missileBuilt by: Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace / RaytheonThe Naval Strike Missile is a Kongsberg-developed sea-skimming cruise missile used from ship and coastal launchers against maritime targets, with land-attack capability in current Kongsberg and Raytheon descriptions. The catalog record now tracks a cautious Ukrainian fielding report, documented launch platforms, and related carrier concepts without claiming confirmed combat firings where sources do not support them.

Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System, Ground-based anti-ship missile launcher, Naval Systems

Navy/Marine Corps Expeditionary Ship Interdiction SystemGround-based anti-ship missile launcherBuilt by: Oshkosh Defense / Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace / RaytheonNMESIS is the U.S. Marine Corps land-based anti-ship missile system for expeditionary sea denial, combining a remotely operated ROGUE-Fires carrier with a two-round Naval Strike Missile launcher and external fire-control architecture.

HMS Stirling Castle, Mine countermeasures mothership, Naval Systems

HMS Stirling CastleMine countermeasures mothershipBuilt by: Vard BrevikHMS Stirling Castle is the Royal Navy's specialist mine countermeasures mothership, converted from the former offshore support vessel Island Crown to host autonomous mine-hunting systems rather than conduct mine clearance with a traditional crewed minehunter. Built by Vard Brevik in Norway and based at Portsmouth, the ship stores, prepares, deploys, recovers, and transports uncrewed surface vessels, underwater vehicles, remote command equipment, and mission containers for the Royal Navy's Mine Hunting Capability programme.

NM-189 Ingeniørpanservogn, Armored engineer vehicle, Support Equipment

2014 Russia-Ukraine WarNM-189 IngeniørpanservognArmored engineer vehicleBuilt by: Alvis HagglundsThe NM-189 Ingeniørpanservogn is a Norwegian Leopard 1-based armored engineer vehicle built for obstacle work, earthmoving, recovery support, and protected mobility with mechanized forces. Ukrainian and specialist reporting documents NM189 vehicles in Ukrainian training, transfer, and battlefield engineering service during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, where the vehicle appears as a protected combat-engineering asset rather than a direct-fire platform.

HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicle, Autonomous underwater vehicle, Support Equipment

HUGIN autonomous underwater vehicleAutonomous underwater vehicleBuilt by: Kongsberg MaritimeHUGIN 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.

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), Current profiling instrument, Support Equipment

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)Current profiling instrumentBuilt by: Teledyne RD Instruments / NortekAcoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) is a hydroacoustic current-measurement instrument that uses Doppler-shifted sound returns to profile water-current speed and direction through the water column. Teledyne RD Instruments, Nortek, NOAA, NASA, and USGS sources document ADCPs as shipboard, moored, seafloor, buoy, vehicle-mounted, and river-discharge instruments, with the cataloged Haixun 08 fit showing how this commercial sensor class appears in a hydrographic survey-vessel suite.

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

Medium- and shallow-water multibeam sounding systemHydrographic survey systemBuilt by: Kongsberg MaritimeMedium- 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.

Nortek Signature VM Coastal, Vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler package, Support Equipment

Nortek Signature VM CoastalVessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler packageBuilt by: NortekNortek Signature VM Coastal is a Norwegian vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler package for vessel-of-opportunity surveys in rivers, deltas, coastal waters, ports, harbors, discharge sections, and mixing studies. Nortek frames the package around Signature 1000, 500, or 250 kHz ADCP instruments, a fairing bracket, GNSS satellite compass, compact processing unit, and acquisition/review software, with the lower-frequency 250 kHz lane extending the coastal family toward 200 m profiling contexts.

Nortek Signature VM Ocean, Vessel-mounted ocean acoustic Doppler current profiler package, Support Equipment

Nortek Signature VM OceanVessel-mounted ocean acoustic Doppler current profiler packageBuilt by: NortekNortek Signature VM Ocean is a Norwegian vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler package for large ocean-going research, survey, and operations vessels. Nortek's current product material separates a 100 kHz VM Ocean configuration for upper-ocean current profiling and optional echosounder work from a dual-frequency 75/55 kHz long-range configuration for deeper ocean current profiles.
