KONGSBERG has secured a USD 54 million modification to its Prototype Other Transaction Agreement with the US government. The change is primarily driven by delivery of a broad range of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and associated underwater capability components.
KONGSBERG CEO Eirik Lie said the contract reflected continued confidence in the company’s underwater technology and delivery capabilities. He said it continues the company’s collaboration with DIU and the US Navy.
The company says it has more than 30 years of experience in autonomous underwater vehicles and continues to develop and deliver large AUV systems for defence and commercial customers worldwide.
