India gives Hugin an underwater embrace

The Indian Navy is adopting Kongsberg AUVs for operations from new survey ships, which are currently under construction

Kongsberg Maritime announced in late September that it had sold four examples of its Hugin AUV to Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), to be used aboard new survey ships for the Indian Navy (IN).

Each Hugin comes with a transportable container, as well as a launch and recovery system. Kongsberg will also provide initial training and support to the IN.

GRSE is currently constructing four large survey vessels for the IN, each of which will be assigned a Hugin. The vessels will also possess a Kongsberg HiPAP 502 acoustic positioning and communication system to support AUV operations.
