AUVs for Royal Norwegian Navy

Hydro International -

Hydroid has delivered two REMUS 100 AUVs to the Royal Norwegian Navy (RNoN). The REMUS AUVs were procured by the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) Naval Systems Contracting Division on behalf the RNoN. These REMUS vehicles will be used to increase the RNoN mine countermeasure capability.

"The REMUS 100 is the U.S. Navy's tool of choice for shallow water mine counter measure operations," said Christopher von Alt, president and one of the co-founders of Hydroid.

"The system’s technology and versatility is helping to keep humans out of minefields worldwide, and we’reconfident it’s an excellent choice for the Royal Norwegian Navy as well."

"We are pleased to be able to collaborate with the Royal Norwegian Navy, which has once again selected REMUS for its shallow water AUV capability," said Graham Lester, director of Hydroid Europe.

"REMUS vehicles have been proven to withstand the harsh conditions associated with Norwegian waters, so these systems are ideal for the Royal Norwegian Navy.

The REMUS 100 is a compact, light-weight, autonomous underwater vehicle designed for operation in coastal environments up to 100 metres in depth. The vehicle can be configured to include a wide variety of standard and/or customer specified sensors and system options to meet unique autonomous mission requirements.
