Kongsberg pitches a commercial-hull drone ship to hunt submarines in the High North

Kongsberg Maritime unveiled the Arctic Hunter, an uncrewed surface vessel adapted from one of its Arctic commercial ship designs for the Royal Navy's Type 92 anti-submarine requirement. It carries Thales UK sonar and secure communications, and Balaena Maritime would build the ships at Birkenhead, ready for deployment by the end of the decade. Kongsberg's uncrewed technology already holds DNV and Norwegian flag-state approvals.
