quality to a depth of 1000-4500m, depending on configuration. It can be operated in either ‘operator-supervised’ or fully autonomous mode. The HUGIN concept allows integration of alternative sensors for geophysical, search and inspection purposes, subject to customer requirements. The HUGIN 1000’s commercial


applications include offshore oil and gas geophysical survey; inspection of pipelines and underwater structures; environmental monitoring; hydrography; and marine research. Its naval applications include mine countermeasures; rapid environmental assessment/battlespace access; and intelligence,

in the Baltic, AUVs with sonars, such as the HUGIN 1000, performed better than hull-mounted sonar systems.


The HUGIN 1000 is capable of


undertaking high-speed surveys with excellent navigation and payload data


and reconnaissance. Using AUVs to conduct surveys and


detect mines is inherently safer because personnel on the vessel from which they are deployed can remain outside a minefield. WT
