KONGSBERG Launches Two New Sonars, Expands AI Partnership with Viam

KONGSBERG has launched two new underwater surveillance sonars for maritime security and critical infrastructure protection, while expanding its collaboration with Viam to develop an AI-powered virtual sonar operator.

The new Aegir17 and Aegir57N systems expand the company's Aegir SSA (Subsea Situational Awareness) family to three models, KONGSBERG said.

The Aegir17 is a long-range, 360-degree sonar designed for larger maritime platforms, using a lower acoustic frequency and larger transducer to provide greater detection range and definition than the existing Aegir57.

The Aegir57N is a compact matrix sonar designed for navigation and security applications, directing acoustic beams towards selected areas to provide detailed information about the water column and seabed.
