Transittgata 10 is already home to several companies, with more on their way. Nyhavna is undergoing major development, but activity does not have to wait until new buildings are completed. At Transittgata 10, existing space is being used by companies working in ocean technology and automation, with several more companies moving in. Norse Navigation has been based in the building since before the summer, while CGO Automasjon moved in on 1 August. Ocean Access is planning to move into office space at the turn of the year. Zeabuz and Blueye Robotics also use parts of the workshop facilities for workshop activities and storage. “Transittgata 10 is an ideal fit for us at Norse Navigation. It gives us flexible office space in a central Trondheim location, right in the middle of a growing cluster of established and emerging maritime technology companies. We also really appreciate that existing buildings at Nyhavna are being made available while the long-term plans for the area take shape,” says Henrik Foss, CEO and founder of Norse Navigation.

At Transittgata 10, we are close to several of our customers, such as Oceantech Innovation and Zeabuz, and alongside other founders and companies working on the same challenges as we do. That makes it easy to build connections, share experiences and find new collaborations. Here, we have offices, meeting rooms and our own workshop under one roof, where we build machines and automation cabinets. The premises suit our size today while giving us room to grow within the same building. Being right by the sea is an advantage when much of what we deliver goes to the maritime sector – and the view certainly doesn't make the workday any worse. We believe this is an environment that will give us customers, expertise and inspiration for further growth,” says Christoffer Garmager Okkenhaug, CEO of CGO Automasjon. – Ocean technology companies are growing, and we see a strong demand for flexible space. Companies want to be able to move in at short notice and rent exactly the space they need. It is great that we can help meet this demand together with Nyhavna Utvikling, says Frode Halvorsen of Ocean Autonomy Cluster. Christoffer Garmager Okkenhaug, CEO of CGO Automasjon. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Flexible space in a changing district Transittgata 10 is owned by Nyhavna Utvikling, which is developing large parts of the area for residential use in the longer term. Development will take time, and in the meantime, existing buildings can provide useful space for companies that do not require newly built premises. – We are going to develop large parts of Transittgata for residential use, but that will take time. This means there will be buildings with a somewhat uncertain lifespan, but which are still perfectly suitable for companies that do not have particularly high requirements for building standards, says Ragnar Eggen of Nyhavna Utvikling. For Nyhavna Utvikling, making use of the existing building stock is also about creating activity in the area ahead of further development. – We want to facilitate business activity and bring life to older buildings that otherwise would not have much use going forward. At the same time, we can offer flexible office space to companies that want to establish themselves at Nyhavna, says Eggen.

The VCF system equips Åland’s ferry service with intelligent Autocrossing capabilities offering reduced energy use, timely crossings and reliable operations. Automatic operations commissioned without downtime After the initial installation, the commissioning was carried out while the ferry continued normal operations, leaving no service interruptions or downtime. «This is exactly how technology adoption should be,» said CTO Tobias R. Torben, who went to Åland to join the commissioning. «Operators want solutions that create value immediately, not projects that keep vessels out of service for weeks. Installing the system and bringing it online shortly afterwards demonstrates the maturity of the technology and the efficiency of our deployment model.» From day one, the system allows the operator to conduct crossings by the press of a single button, ensuring consistent performance on every crossing in terms of fuel usage, timeliness and safety. «Every operator is looking for ways to optimise resources and maintain high safety standards. That’s exactly the value we aim to deliver, both today and in the future.» Tobias R. Torben adds. Future regulations may introduce new operational models In the future, the Zeabuz Virtual Cable Ferry solution is set to fully replace the need for traditional physical cable infrastructure. The concept removes many of the challenges associated with submerged cables, including wear, maintenance, operational restrictions, and risks of service disruption. While cable ferries are still regulated to require a physical cable today, updated regulations are being developed to allow ferries to rely on a digital cable only. This unlocks a fully new operational model where traditional road ferries can be reclassified and regulated as virtual cable ferries, lowering manning and maintenance costs and improving reliability. With the system deployed, Zeabuz and the Government of Åland will continue their collaboration as the project moves into operational service, helping demonstrate how modern intelligent navigation technology can support safer, more efficient, and more resilient ferry transport for island communities.", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Lars Bugge Aarset", "sameAs" : "https://www.linkedin.com/in/larsaarset/", "url" : "https://oceanautonomy.no/en-us/oacnews/author/lars-bugge-aarset" }, "dateModified" : "29/09/2026", "datePublished" : "29/09/2026", "headline" : "Major commercial milestone reached as first Virtual Cable Ferry System is deployed in Åland", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 400, "url" : "https://26558673.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/26558673/Aland-Simskala-VCF-Virtual-Cable-Ferry3.png", "width" : 750 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://oceanautonomy.no/en-us/oacnews/major-commercial-milestone-reached-as-first-virtual-cable-ferry-system-is-deployed-in-åland", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://26558673.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/26558673/Dark_yellow-fill_POS%20(3).png" }, "name" : "Ocean Autonomy Cluster/FI - Fremtidens Industri", "url" : "oceanautonomy.no" } } ``` ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "articleBody" : "Successful trials in Plymouth show how the combination of an uncrewed surface vessel and a remotely operated underwater vehicle can reduce costs, improve safety, and expand offshore operational windows. ACUA Ocean, a member of Ocean Autonomy Cluster, has successfully completed integration trials with French company Forssea Robotics, combining the USV Pioneer uncrewed surface vessel (USV) with the ARGOS remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The campaign marks an important step toward more autonomous, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for subsea inspection, offshore energy operations, and critical infrastructure protection. Over a three-week period in Plymouth, UK, the partners conducted more than 40 deployments of the 170 kg ARGOS ROV. Every launch, dive, and recovery operation was controlled remotely from shore, demonstrating the viability of performing advanced subsea missions without personnel offshore. The trials were carried out under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA). The objective was to address a long-standing challenge in the offshore market: enabling reliable ROV operations from a platform capable of remaining safely on station in sea conditions that frequently interrupt conventional vessel-based operations. Operating in challenging conditions During the campaign, the integrated solution successfully completed operations in wave heights of up to two metres, with no impact on ROV performance. The team carried out inspections at depths exceeding 20 metres, surveyed seabed features, and conducted test inspections of the Poulmic wreck and a concrete target structure in Cawsand Bay. On one occasion, the system completed eight launch-and-recovery cycles in a single day, highlighting the operational efficiency of the integrated platform. Positioning and tracking were supported by Sonardyne’s Mini-Ranger 2 USBL system, enabling precise underwater navigation and station keeping even in degraded conditions. Combining endurance and precision The solution leverages the complementary strengths of both companies’ technologies. The USV Pioneer provides a stable and highly capable launch-and-recovery platform, allowing operations in sea states that often limit traditional crewed vessels. At the same time, Forssea Robotics’ compact and fully web-controlled ARGOS ROV delivers precise inspection, survey, and light intervention capabilities in a flexible, deployable package. Together, the systems operated as a single remotely supervised solution. Operations were coordinated from ACUA Ocean’s Remote Operations Centre in Plymouth, while Forssea Robotics simultaneously supervised from its headquarters in Sète, France. One of the demonstration dives was also live-streamed to the Cyber Innovation Hub of the Bundeswehr in Germany. Reducing offshore costs and risk According to ACUA Ocean CEO Neil Tinmouth, the trials demonstrate how autonomous systems can provide both operational and economic benefits. “These trials prove we can open a weather window that conventional crewed vessels cannot work in, giving operators a wider weather window for inspection campaigns. Just as importantly, running inspection campaigns from an uncrewed surface vessel takes significant cost out of the work, with fewer support vessels, fewer people offshore and far less weather-related downtime.” Forssea Robotics CEO Gautier Dreyfus described the campaign as an important milestone for both companies. “All of us at Forssea are hugely proud of this milestone and impressed by Pioneer’s sea-state capabilities. Seeing how smoothly the ROV integration and the multiple launch-and-recovery sequences went over the past few weeks was hugely satisfying. We are excited to see what comes next.” Applications across offshore energy and maritime security The integrated ROV-USV solution is aimed at offshore energy operators, subsea inspection and maintenance providers, maritime security stakeholders, and organisations responsible for protecting critical underwater infrastructure. By reducing reliance on large crewed support vessels, the technology can lower operational costs, improve safety, reduce emissions, and increase the number of days available for offshore operations.

The event brought together defence officials, industry representatives and technology companies to explore new opportunities for cooperation in maritime technology, security and resilience. The Demo Day concluded a week of international engagement through the Forsvarskonferansen – Nordic Defence and Security Conference and the German-Norwegian Defence Dialogue. After several days of presentations, policy discussions and networking, participants had the opportunity to see emerging technologies demonstrated in real-world conditions along Trondheim’s waterfront. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Norwegian technology attracts international attention For many of the international visitors, the demonstrations provided a valuable opportunity to experience the technologies firsthand. “We have spent the last few days indoors listening to presentations and meeting interesting stakeholders. Today gives us the opportunity to see the solutions in action and engage with companies in a more informal environment,” says Johan Verbeek Wolthuys of the German-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce. The German delegation included INFODAS GmbH, Constellr GmbH, Auterion GmbH and TYTAN Technologies GmbH, all of which participated in the Defence Conference, the German-Norwegian Defence Dialogue and the Demo Day. According to Wolthuys, the goal is to strengthen cooperation between Norwegian and German industry, research institutions and public authorities. “We brought together representatives from both defence ministries, procurement agencies and industry to discuss how we can achieve closer practical cooperation. This year’s discussions focused on topics such as unmanned systems, European resilience and lessons learned from Ukraine,” he says. Johan Verbeek Wolthuys of the German-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Strong potential for future cooperation Among the visitors was Karola Höfener, Defence Cooperation Attaché at the German Embassy in Oslo. Before joining the embassy, she was responsible for German capability planning for underwater and unmanned systems. “My role is to understand what capabilities are available in Norway and identify future cooperation opportunities. That is why it is extremely valuable to come here and see these technologies in action,” she says. Karola Höfener, Defence Cooperation Attaché at the German Embassy in Oslo. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Höfener believes that Norway and Germany face many of the same challenges and that rapid technology adoption is becoming increasingly important. “We need to test new equipment together with soldiers to make it operational as quickly as possible. The technology has to work, but it must also be easy to use.

These are experiences and insights I will bring back with me.” Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Virginia Beach looks to Trondheim for inspiration A delegation from Virginia Beach, on the US East Coast, also participated in the programme. The region is home to the world’s largest naval base, extensive maritime industries and a growing ecosystem for defence and autonomous technologies. “We see many similarities between the ecosystem in Virginia Beach and what is happening in Trondheim. At the same time, there are tremendous opportunities for cooperation and mutual learning,” says Paige Fox of Virginia Beach Economic Development. Paige Fox of Virginia Beach Economic Development. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Cooperation between Virginia Beach, Ocean Autonomy Cluster and NORDSEC began earlier this year and has already led to delegation visits, webinars and business meetings on both sides of the Atlantic. The relationship-building started even before the Defence Conference itself. The American delegation participated in “Bobler og sodd på tunet” at Storflor Gård, hosted by KPMG, where representatives from industry, technology and defence communities gathered in an informal setting. “We have been genuinely impressed by both the people and the ecosystem we have encountered here. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming, and there is a real spirit of collaboration. One of the highlights of the visit was ‘Bobler og sodd på tunet’ at Storflor Gård. It is a beautiful venue and a fantastic example of how informal settings can bring people together and spark meaningful conversations. The event created a unique atmosphere where industry, defence and technology representatives could connect in a very natural way. That openness and willingness to collaborate is something that truly stands out in Trondheim,” says Fox. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Dominique DeBose highlights the personal connections established during the visit as equally important as the business opportunities. “I had a great time and met a bunch of wonderful people. The technology and innovation are impressive, but what really stands out is the people. The connections we've made here are just as important as the technologies we've seen, and I believe those relationships will lead to future cooperation,” says DeBose. According to the delegation, the combination of professional conference sessions and informal networking opportunities has been one of the highlights of the visit.

Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Seeing the technology firsthand During the Demo Day, visitors were able to observe technologies developed by companies such as Blueye Robotics, Maritime Robotics, Zeabuz, Clarify, Eelume and Water Linked. For the American delegation, seeing the systems in operation added a new dimension to conversations that had started during the conference. “We met many of these companies during the Defence Conference, but now we're actually seeing the technology being demonstrated. It gives us a much better understanding of the breadth of capabilities and what these companies can accomplish,” says Fox. The delegation believes several Norwegian companies have strong potential within the US maritime and defence markets. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Building bridges between markets A recurring theme throughout both the conference and the Demo Day was how emerging technology companies can connect more effectively with international markets and defence programmes. For Wolthuys, creating opportunities for such connections is essential. “Many companies are interested in becoming active in the other country. Networks, contacts and market knowledge are critical. Our role is to facilitate those relationships and help companies find the right partners.” Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri The Virginia Beach delegation sees similar opportunities. “One of the biggest takeaways for us is how much we want to continue working together. We would like to strengthen our own demonstration and testing capabilities in Virginia Beach while incorporating lessons learned from Trondheim. That would also provide a stronger foothold for Norwegian companies entering the US market,” says Fox.

NTNU will contribute to the further development of the drone. At the Nordic Defence and Security Conference, a group including the Minister of Defence and NTNU’s Rector announced that the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre is acquiring a HUGIN 6000 from Kongsberg. Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik highlighted that Norway is at its best where conditions are salty, wet and cold, and pointed to the critical infrastructure in deep waters that is essential both to Norway’s export revenues and Europe’s energy security. “Norway is a world leader in maritime research and ocean autonomy. HUGIN is the result of long-term technological collaboration between the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment and Kongsberg. It is a good example of a Norwegian high-tech success story. Dual-use technology strengthens our defence capabilities. When civilian and military technology development work together, we build national expertise that can accelerate development and innovation,” said Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik. The HUGIN drone can dive to a depth of 6,000 metres, enabling it to cover all Norwegian territorial waters. It can map between two and four square kilometres of seabed per hour, has a very high-resolution camera and can operate for three days without recharging its batteries. Expanding research opportunities “With HUGIN, our research communities will gain access to an advanced underwater drone that offers tremendous opportunities to explore and better understand the ocean. The Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre is important for Norway’s ability to maintain its position as a high-tech maritime nation. For us as a leading university, the acquisition of HUGIN is also an important part of advancing autonomous vessels, which also are important for protecting oil and gas pipelines as well as internet and power cables,” said Rector Tor Grande. The HUGIN will become part of the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre’s growing fleet of ocean research equipment. Arne Rinnan, EVP and CTO at Kongsberg, explained that HUGIN was developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment 35 years ago. “HUGIN is the autonomous underwater robot that can travel far and deep, and that you can expect to return when it has completed its mission. Its reliability, robustness and ability to observe objects on the seabed and in the water column are unmatched,” said Rinnan. He said that Kongsberg is looking forward to many years of collaboration with NTNU. “I am pleased that researchers at the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre will contribute to the further development of this technology. This will probably be the largest investment in the Fjordlab part of the centre,” said the Minister of Defence.

The opportunities for research and development are now being expanded. – The goal is to develop the technology and autonomy of tomorrow. And at the same time also giving researchers the opportunity to collect ocean data of a quality that provides new insights into the processes shaping the ocean, said Martin Ludvigsen. He works as Professor at the Department of Marine Technology and Project Manager for the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre – Fjordlab. He will lead the development of NTNU’s HUGIN platform together with a larger team. – The HUGIN drone is an incredible platform for collaboration, where researchers from different parts of NTNU can work together, said Grande, highlighting security, biology, monitoring and the Arctic. Wide range of applications Autonomous and uncrewed vehicles above and below the sea surface will increasingly operate without expensive support vessels. They will also increasingly collaborate with one another to carry out missions. Underwater vehicles will remain submerged for longer periods and perform missions from beneath the surface. – NTNU is at the forefront of education, research and innovation in technologies and methods for the remote operation of autonomous vehicles, from the ocean to outer space. This benefits ocean management and value creation in industries such as offshore oil and gas, offshore wind, fisheries, aquaculture and shipping, and increasingly also security and emergency preparedness, said Asgeir J. Sørensen, Professor at the Department of Marine Technology. He highlighted that the investment in HUGIN and the collaboration with Kongsberg represent a significant boost to capacity building that will strengthen Norway’s national capabilities and presence in Norwegian waters. Climate insights and defence NTNU’s HUGIN will also be used to collect data for natural and social science research. “The HUGIN platform is the most effective tool we have for improving our understanding of what is happening underwater. NTNU’s current equipment takes two to three days to map the same area that a HUGIN can cover in one hour,” said Martin Ludvigsen. NTNU’s marine robotics research community is already involved in a number of major research projects in Norway and internationally. It is also involved in several research project applications. This is HUGIN 6000 NTNU’s HUGIN will be an important part of Norway’s largest research project, Arctic Ocean 2050. It will also play a role in an application for a Centre of Excellence focusing on the development of autonomy. In addition, it will be used in a Centre for Emerging Technologies, as well as in Norwegian and European defence research. Researchers and technicians at NTNU have previously helped other researchers investigate marine life off Hawaii and beneath the polar ice at the North Pole. Previous missions Underwater robots from this research community have been used to map Lake Mjøsa in close collaboration with archaeologists from the NTNU University Museum together with the Norwegian Mapping Authority. They have also been used to map cold-water coral reefs in the Trondheimsfjord and to patrol gas pipelines off Melkøya.

Photo: GCE Blue Maritime Squarehead Technology has developed a solution that can detect sounds that the human ear cannot pick up, enabling it to alert crew and shore-based organisations to potential problems long before an anomaly develops into a serious incident. The technology has applications in predictive maintenance, but the jury sees an equally important role in the development of remotely operated and autonomous vessels. “This makes it not only an innovation that can enable predictive maintenance, but also a tool that can lead the way for future remotely operated and autonomous ships, where fewer people on board place even greater demands on systems to detect what previously required a trained ear.” The solution has already been tested in operation on ferries along the Norwegian coast. This autumn, it will be deployed on the four new autonomous ferries operating on the Sognefjord. The award highlights how technologies and expertise from different industries can come together to address new challenges in maritime operations, with potential applications ranging from predictive maintenance to autonomous vessel operations.

Artificial intelligence and autonomous systems are changing the way modern military operations are planned and conducted. The war in Ukraine has demonstrated how rapidly unmanned aerial systems, maritime drones, advanced sensors and AI-supported decision-making tools have become integrated into military operations. At the same time, NATO countries are investing heavily in new capabilities based on artificial intelligence and autonomy. These technologies offer the potential for faster decision-making, improved situational awareness and more precise use of military capabilities. But they also raise a fundamental question: As machines become increasingly intelligent, how do we ensure that humans retain meaningful control? “In complex systems, control is not something we assume, it is something we must actively design.” — Stig Ole Johnsen, NTNU This question is at the heart of the Norwegian research project MIDAS – Humans in Future Ocean Space Operations, and of the book Safety by Design: Human-Centered Approaches to AI, Automation, and Remote Operations. Edited by Frøy Birte Bjørneseth, Stig Ole Johnsen, Ole Andreas Alsos, Vidar Hepsø and Gunhild Birgitte Sætren, the book brings together research and practical experience on human-centred approaches to AI, automation and remote operations across safety-critical sectors. [1] The article draws on research, findings and practical experience from the Norwegian MIDAS project and Safety by Design: Human-Centered Approaches to AI, Automation, and Remote Operations, with particular emphasis on the implications for defence. Key themes include meaningful human control, human factors, system design and the interaction between people, technology and organisation. Although MIDAS is rooted in ocean operations, the book draws on experience from several safety-critical sectors. Many of the challenges are therefore equally relevant to defence Scale model of a Remote Operation Centre (ROC), from a master's thesis in autonomy at NTNU Shore Control Lab.

Autonomy is not about removing humans One of the most important lessons from research into autonomous and remotely operated systems is that autonomy should not be understood as a way of removing humans from the system. Stig Ole Johnsen's research specifically addresses how Meaningful Human Control can be engineered into digitalisation, automation, AI and remote operations. His work emphasises that human control needs to be deliberately incorporated into the design of complex systems rather than simply assumed to exist because a human remains formally responsible. “Autonomous and remotely operated maritime systems will not become safe simply by removing people from the bridge or the control loop. They become safer when we understand the work operators actually have to perform, design the technology around that work, and ensure that people can build situation awareness and intervene when conditions change.” — Stig Ole Johnsen, NTNU This is closely connected to the concept of Meaningful Human Control. Simply having a human formally “in the loop” does not necessarily mean that the human has effective control. The operator must have sufficient understanding of what the system is doing, access to relevant and timely information, the authority to make decisions and the ability to intervene when necessary. NATO's work on Human Systems Integration for Meaningful Human Control over AI-based systems addresses these issues at the system level. [2] This has important implications for defence procurement. Human Factors Engineering, task analysis, user involvement, prototyping, simulation and continuous learning cannot be treated as activities that are added after the technology has been developed. They need to be incorporated from the beginning. Testing autonomous technology on the electric hydrofoil Candela P-12, known as Frostabåten, in Trondheim. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset. The lesson from KNM Helge Ingstad The collision involving the frigate KNM Helge Ingstad in 2018 provides a powerful Norwegian example of why technology, people and organisation must be understood as one system. Research by Ole Andreas Alsos, Stig Ole Johnsen and Frøy Birte Bjørneseth addresses human, technical and organisational factors in accident analysis and safety-critical systems. Their work is part of the broader research presented in Safety by Design. For Bjørneseth, the lesson from accident investigations is clear: “When we investigate serious incidents, we often see that attention is focused on the person who made a mistake. But humans always operate within a system. If the system is poorly designed, the likelihood of errors increases.” — Frøy Birte Bjørneseth, NTNU Bjørneseth's research focuses on Human Factors, human-machine interfaces, ergonomics, user experience, operational management and safety in autonomous and maritime systems. The broader lesson is consistent with the central argument of Safety by Design: in safety-critical systems, human performance cannot be separated from the technical and organisational context in which people operate. [1] For autonomous military systems, this interaction becomes even more important. A technically sophisticated system can still fail to deliver its intended operational effect if information is difficult to interpret, interfaces are poorly designed, responsibilities are unclear or operators cannot intervene effectively.

Ukraine shows why humans still matter The war in Ukraine provides an extraordinary real-world laboratory for the development and deployment of autonomous and semi-autonomous technologies. Drones, sensors, satellite data and AI-supported analysis are being integrated into military operations at unprecedented speed. But the experience from Ukraine also demonstrates that technology alone does not determine military effectiveness. Humans remain responsible for understanding the operational context, assessing uncertainty and making decisions involving tactical, legal and ethical considerations. The physical distance between an operator and the battlefield may increase, while the cognitive demands on the operator can become greater. The same principle applies to autonomous maritime operations: the more responsibility is delegated to a system, the more important it becomes to understand what the system can and cannot be expected to do Demonstration of Ukrainian drone technology in Trøndelag. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset. The technology may not be the hardest part There is a tendency to view AI adoption primarily as a technology challenge. Research suggests that this can be misleading. The MIT NANDA report The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025 examined the gap between experimentation with generative AI and measurable organisational value, highlighting challenges related to implementation, workflow integration and organisational adaptation. [3] For defence, the consequences of poor integration can be particularly serious. The issue is not simply whether an AI system works technically, but whether it works in the operational environment in which it is intended to be used. This is where the Human Factors perspective becomes particularly important. Bjørneseth's research covers Human Factors, human-machine interaction, usability, ergonomics, operational environments and safety in autonomous systems. [1] AI adoption should therefore begin with the mission and the tasks that people need to perform. What decisions have to be made? What information is required? Where is uncertainty greatest? What happens when communication fails? What happens when information is incomplete, misleading or deliberately manipulated? These questions are as important as the technical performance of the AI model itself. NASAMS: designing around the operator A Norwegian example can be found in the development of the next-generation Fire Distribution Centre for the Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, NASAMS. The system has been developed around the tasks operators need to perform under extreme time pressure. User involvement, observation, task analysis, prototyping and testing have been important elements of the development process. The result illustrates a fundamental principle of human-centred design: advanced technology does not necessarily have to mean greater complexity for the user. This approach is consistent with the principles of human-centred design described in ISO 9241-210:2019, which provides requirements and recommendations for human-centred design principles and activities throughout the life cycle of interactive systems.

The country combines a strong defence industry with substantial research expertise in autonomy, Human Factors and human-machine interaction, as well as decades of experience with safety-critical maritime operations. There are also relatively short distances between users, industry, research institutions and government. This creates an opportunity to develop and test new approaches in close cooperation with the people who will ultimately use the technology. User involvement should extend from the definition of the problem through prototyping, exercises, acquisition and implementation – and continue as an integral part of operational learning. This is consistent with both the human-centred design principles of ISO 9241-210 and NATO's approach to Meaningful Human Control across the system lifecycle. [2][4] The war in Ukraine reinforces the value of this approach. Technologies are developed, deployed, tested and modified at extraordinary speed. The ability to establish short learning loops between operational experience, users, researchers and industry can therefore become a strategic advantage.

Humans remain the critical capability The central message from MIDAS and Safety by Design is not that autonomy should be slowed down. Quite the opposite. Autonomous and AI-based systems will become increasingly important in both civilian and military operations. [1] The question is how these systems are designed and integrated. Testing should not be limited to whether a system performs correctly under ideal conditions. Systems must also be tested under time pressure, degraded communications, incorrect or uncertain information, cyber disruption and other hostile or degraded conditions. NATO's work on Meaningful Human Control addresses human-system integration across the lifecycle, including design, testing, training and operational use. [2] ISO 9241-210:2019 provides an established framework for human-centred design, emphasising an understanding of users, tasks and environments throughout the development process. [4] For defence, this approach is particularly important because failure can have consequences far beyond inconvenience or lost productivity. It can affect operational effectiveness, situational awareness, safety and accountability. The most advanced system is therefore not necessarily the one with the highest degree of autonomy. Instead, the critical question is whether the system enables people to understand what is happening, make appropriate decisions and intervene when necessary. This is the essence of Meaningful Human Control – and it is why the human role does not disappear as autonomous systems become more capable. Johnsen's research specifically addresses how Meaningful Human Control can be engineered into digitalisation, automation, AI and remote operations. The challenge for the defence sector is therefore to combine technological development with human competence, organisational development and continuous user involvement. When machines become smarter, the human role does not disappear. It changes – and in many cases becomes more demanding.
