Kongsberg HUGIN family
By Kongsberg
HUGIN is a family of autonomous underwater robots for gathering data about the seabed and underwater objects.
HUGIN is a family of autonomous underwater robots for gathering data about the seabed and underwater objects. Sensors such as sonar and a multibeam can be combined with other instruments according to the edition. Kongsberg describes goal-based mission planning and automated launch and recovery options for HUGIN Edge. The figures in this profile come exclusively from the HUGIN 6000 data sheet, rather than Edge or a smaller HUGIN. Listed typical endurance corresponds to a specified speed with sensors operating. A comparison therefore starts with required depth, sensor combination and mission definition. The support vessel and launch and recovery procedure also require project-specific choices.
