# Kongsberg HUGIN: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Kongsberg's HUGIN is a full-ocean-depth AUV with onboard ATR and terrain-relative navigation. Commercial + defense, no consumer price. The verified status.

## Price

_No verified price on record._

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.

## Availability

_Status: internal-only_

HUGIN is sold to commercial survey operators and navies, not consumers. Made by Kongsberg (Norway), the family (including HUGIN Superior) is at production maturity.

## Status

Kongsberg's HUGIN family (including HUGIN Superior) is the commercial-and-defense subsea workhorse of DEPLOY's maritime cohort: free-swimming autonomous underwater vehicles with genuine in-mission onboard processing, autonomous pipe-tracking, terrain-relative navigation, and automated target recognition. HUGIN Superior is full-ocean-depth with 70-plus hours of endurance and navigation accuracy under 0.04 percent of distance travelled, used for mine countermeasures, intelligence preparation of the environment, seabed warfare, and hydrographic survey. DEPLOY records it at the vehicle level (the HUGIN AUV, not the Kongsberg parent conglomerate).
