Introduction The HUGIN Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) program started early 1990 with a dual civilian and military application strategy. Since 1997 the HUGIN vehicles have been successfully used for civilian applications and from 2001 for military applications. The HUGIN AUVs have been developed jointly by Kongsberg Maritime and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). For the offshore oil and gas industry the HUGIN 3000 class AUVs have accumulated more than 150.000 km (per 2007) of survey world wide, ranging from shallow water down to 3000 meters. The vehicles run survey...

A long term research program has introduced the HUGIN AUV technology to military applications. In particular, within the HUGIN Mine Reconnaissance Program (HUGIN MRS), FFI, Kongsberg Maritime and The Royal Norwegian Navy (RNoN) have successfully carried out a range of military AUV operations including route surveying, rapid environmental assessment (REA) and mine countermeasure (MCM). To meet the requirements of various applications, HUGIN AUVs have integrated a wide range of advanced acoustic payload sensors – multibeam echosounders (MBE), sub-bottom profilers (SBP), sidescan sonars (SSS),...

FIELD EXPERIENCE HUGIN AUVs have surveyed most of the major deepwater offshore oil and gas fields world wide. The precise positioning of an exceptional stable payload sensor carrier being operated close to the sea bottom at high speed has revolutionized deep water surveying with respect to survey efficiency and data quality. Based on high quality HUGIN data, significant higher precision and cost savings are obtained in the engineering of major subsea developments in deep water and rough terrain. Field operations have taken place world wide from arctic to tropical areas. More than three...

THE HUGIN FAMILY Today the HUGIN Family of AUVs constitutes three basic models: • HUGIN 1000 (1000 and 3000 meter depth versions) • HUGIN 3000 • HUGIN 4500 HUGIN AUVs build on a common and well proven technology base. This is especially true for the navigation, control, payload, communication, propulsion and emergency systems. The main vehicle differences are size, battery technology and endurance, and payload sensor configuration. The larger the vehicle, the more comprehensive and capable sensor suite can be fitted. Since the first commercial operation in 1997, HUGIN AUVs have found...

HUGIN 1000 HUGIN 1000 is 75 cm in diameter and is available with 1000 m and 3000 m depth ratings. HUGIN 1000 is built with a three module structure – standardized aft and front sections and one or two modular midsections. The midsection(s) can be configured with a wide range of payload sensors like sidescan sonar, synthetic aperture sonar, multibeam echo sounder, sub-bottom profiler, fishery sonar, laser plankton counter, etc. The power source is a pressure tolerant lithium polymer battery providing an endurance of approximately 24 hours at four knots (speed and payload configuration...

HUGIN 3000 HUGIN 3000 is the offshore AUV workhorse with 1 m diameter and 3000 m depth rating. Major survey companies use HUGIN 3000 for detailed seabed mapping for offshore oil and gas companies. HUGIN 3000 is powered by a novel semi fuel cell battery providing more than 60 hours endurance at four knots speed with multibeam echo sounder, sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiler and CTD running. The long endurance allows higher operational efficiency, as well as reduced number of recoveries and thus reduced operational risk. Important features of HUGIN 3000 include unparalleled navigation...
