Kongsberg HUGIN: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Q: Can I buy a HUGIN?

No. The HUGIN AUV is sold to commercial survey operators and navies on contract; there is no consumer price.

Q: What can HUGIN do autonomously?

Genuine in-mission onboard processing: autonomous pipe-tracking, terrain-relative navigation, and automated target recognition, with navigation accuracy under 0.04% of distance travelled.

Q: What is HUGIN Superior?

The full-ocean-depth member of the family, with 70-plus hours of endurance.

Q: Is this Kongsberg or HUGIN?

DEPLOY records the vehicle (the HUGIN AUV), not the Kongsberg parent conglomerate, consistent with vehicle-level scoping.

Q: How does HUGIN compare to REMUS?

Both are established subsea AUVs; HUGIN (Kongsberg, Norway) is dual-use commercial+defense, and REMUS (HII, US) is the defense legacy-prime.

HUGIN is the commercial-and-defense subsea workhorse of DEPLOY's maritime cohort: a dual-use AUV that serves both survey operators and navies, the established European counterpart to HII's REMUS.

Its autonomy is genuinely onboard: in-mission pipe-tracking, terrain-relative navigation, and automated target recognition, with HUGIN Superior offering full-ocean-depth operation, 70-plus hours of endurance, and navigation accuracy under 0.04% of distance travelled.

Price

No reviewed price is on record. We do not treat unverified analyst estimates as pricing data. There is no consumer price. The HUGIN AUV is sold to commercial survey operators and navies on contract, so DEPLOY records zero price points rather than a consumer figure.
