DOF Selects Kongsberg Listen for HUGIN AUV Survey Platform
technology that complements acoustic survey tools by providing additional insight into subsea environments. Applications include pipeline inspection with cathodic protection evaluation, marine mineral exploration and buried cable positioning.The HUGIN platform is designed to collect data from multiple sensors simultaneously, enabling operators to gather geophysical datasets from a single survey mission.Kongsberg Listen was launched earlier this year following Kongsberg Discovery’s acquisition and further development of electromagnetic sensing technology originally developed by Argeo.“HUGIN
Inertial Sensor From Silicon Sensing Supports New Navigation Device
Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd's inertial sensor technology is central to a new north-finding navigation device recently unveiled by Kongsberg Discovery AS and set to be demonstrated at Oceanology International this month.In June 2025, the two companies announced they had signed a co-operation agreement to develop a new generation of inertial products. This is the first development to emerge from this cooperation.Market requirements for north-seeking gyroscopes increasingly demand low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C). The combination of Silicon Sensing’s micro electro-mechanical systems
Kongsberg Discovery Expands Multibeam Echosounder Portfolio
Kongsberg Discovery has launched two new variants of its EM2042 multibeam echosounder, extending high-resolution seabed mapping capabilities to deep-rated subsea vehicles and naval operations.The new EM2042 DR600 and EM2042 BNS build on the existing EM2042 platform and its next-generation acoustic architecture, targeting deepwater unmanned platforms and defense environments, respectively.The EM2042 DR600 is engineered for underwater vehicles including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), remotely operated towed vehicles (ROTVs) and submarines. The system is depth-rat
Kongsberg Discovery Upgrades Argeo Listen Electromagnetic Sensor
Kongsberg Discovery has upgraded its Listen electromagnetic sensor system. Formerly known as Argeo Listen, the system has undergone hardware and software enhancements, delivering improved data processing and visualisation capabilities. The platform agnostic technology is now available for a range of applications across the ocean science, defence, energy and minerals sectors, amongst others.Users familiar with Argeo Listen will recognize the enhanced software environment, now integrated with Kongsberg’s Blue Insight ecosystem. The upgraded suite enables streamlined, end to end workflows
Kongsberg Discovery Upgrades Kongsberg Listen Electromagnetic Sensor
Kongsberg Discovery has upgraded its Kongsberg Listen electromagnetic sensor system, enhancing data processing and visualization capabilities for inspections, surveys and knowledge acquisition in complex underwater environments.The system, formerly known as Argeo Listen, has undergone hardware and software improvements following Kongsberg Discovery’s acquisition of Argeo’s electromagnetic sensing technologies and recruitment of its staff in August 2025. The company said it has focused on integrating the technology into its existing portfolio while accelerating innovation.The upgraded
TDK’s Tronics Launches High-Temp MEMS Sensor for Drilling Applications
bias residual error of 1.7 mg units across the full temperature range, and a noise density of 10 µg/√Hz.The device has a powered lifetime exceeding 1,000 hours at 175 degrees Celsius, enabling the development of next-generation drilling tools for complex and unconventional well environments. Sensors and evaluation boards are available for customer sampling, TDK said
NUWC Division Newport’s AUTEC Range Performs Sensor Accuracy Test of German Ship for NATO FORACS
a two-part Sensor Accuracy Test (SAT). The first part took place during an in-port phase in Miami, Florida, followed by two days at sea on AUTEC’s precision tracking range in the Bahamas. The NFA team embedded aboard the ship to install test equipment and measure the performance of radars, optical sensors, inertial navigation systems and laser range finders.The NATO FORACS ranges are located in Andros Island in the Bahamas, the city of Stavanger in Norway and Souda Bay, Greece. The program ensures that an allied ship can be evaluated at any of the three sites and produce consistent results across
Marport Launches New Pro NX Sensor Platform
Marport, a leader in catch control and net monitoring technology for commercial fishing, has unveiled its new Marport Pro NX sensor platform. This line of sensors delivers improved performance, usability, and data accuracy for commercial trawling operations. The Marport Pro NX platform includes a suite of upgraded sensors—door, net, speed, seine, and catch sensors—designed to provide more precise and reliable trawl data directly to the helm.At the core of the Pro NX line is a new sensor design, which is now more compact, programmable and field-efficient. Catch Pro NX housings now feature a
Viridien, Mantle8 Partner to Accelerate Hydrogen Exploration Across EMEA
East, Africa (EMEA) region.The partnership gives Mantle8 access to GeoVerse, Viridien’s geological database, to support natural hydrogen exploration in EMEA. In addition, Mantle8 has selected Sercel, Viridien’s Sensing & Monitoring business, to provide its WiNG DFU-3C passive seismic sensors to image subsurface hydrogen-generating systems with greater precision and efficiency.As the race to prove up Europe's extensive natural hydrogen reserves gains momentum, this partnership will enable faster, real-world testing, refinement and optimization of the technology tailored to pinpoint
