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.

Camilla Kiss, KONGSBERG Executive Vice President and President of the Discovery division, said the company had signed AUV contracts worth NOK 1.7 billion across all markets so far in 2026.

Kiss said advances in artificial intelligence, edge processing and autonomy are enabling platforms to take on increasingly complex missions. She added that the pace of technological change has never been faster.
