  "articleBody" : "Anschütz is taking a major step into autonomous maritime operations. The company has launched its new product line, Anschütz Autonomics, offering autonomous navigation and mission automation solutions for commercial, defence, and maritime security applications. Anschütz has recently joined Ocean Autonomy Cluster, bringing decades of experience in integrated navigation systems and a new focus on autonomous capabilities. Expanding capabilities with autonomous solutions The new product line includes the SYNAPSIS Autonomics Navigation Suite, which enhances traditional navigation systems with optical target tracking, COLREG-compliant collision avoidance, and advanced motion control for precise manoeuvring and station keeping. SYNTACS Autonomics automates mission execution, including threat and doctrine management, tactical behaviours, and payload integration. “Anschütz Autonomics represents a true innovation for unmanned operations in maritime security, defence, and commercial applications,” said Andreas Weidner, Managing Director at Anschütz GmbH. “Scalable from assistance systems to highly automated solutions – and from monitoring and controlling unmanned surface vessels to automating large, manned ships, it delivers new value across a wide range of use cases.” Vessel in Escort mode Photo: Anschütz Autonomics Key functionalities and applications The system enables safe and precise autonomous navigation, automated tactical operations, and full remote control from shore-based command centres. Proven functionalities include high-speed track and speed control, dynamic collision avoidance, targeted interception and reconnaissance, automated shadowing and escorting of high-value or suspicious targets, and integration of data into a common operational picture. Beyond commercial operations, Anschütz Autonomics provides software-defined defence capabilities for a wide range of naval missions, including ISR operations and underwater tasks such as mine detection. Successful demonstrations and operational experience Recent demonstrations with German Naval Yards, CMN in France, and the German Navy have shown unmanned surface vessels executing high-speed manoeuvres, avoiding obstacles, and intercepting targets, all under remote control. Since joining the CAPTN initiative in 2023, Anschütz technology has also completed over 250 autonomous collision-avoidance manoeuvres on the Kiel Fjord under real operational conditions. Driving innovation in maritime autonomy With its proven autonomous navigation technology, Anschütz brings new possibilities for innovation and collaboration to the maritime community. CAS Track.

  "articleBody" : "Exploring future careers in ocean autonomy and technology. NTNU students met several of Norway’s most innovative, and in some cases world-leading ocean technology companies during an afternoon seminar hosted by the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and MIDAS. The event offered insights into cutting-edge research, emerging career opportunities, and collaboration between academia and industry. How can autonomous systems help make the oceans cleaner, safer, and more sustainable? This was one of the questions explored when the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and MIDAS invited NTNU students to an inspiring networking and info afternoon at the Trondheim Maritime Center on October 29. The event brought together students from marine engineering, technical cybernetics, and design – and several cluster member companies presented how they are innovating at the intersection of technology and the ocean. Pauline Røstum Bellingmo,SINTEF Ocean. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri From water monitoring to new concepts Maxime Leclaire from Computas presented the project Make Nyhavna Clean Again, which tests a water monitoring system in Trondheim’s harbor area. The solution is designed to be reusable at swimming areas and other coastal locations to monitor water quality and environmental data. – We are now looking at opportunities for students to contribute with data collection, analysis, and further concept development, said Leclaire. Robots in the splash zone Erik Wold Aalde from OceanTech showcased the company’s robotic solutions for access and maintenance in the splash zone of offshore installations, a challenging environment where technology can replace risky manual operations.

Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Collecting weather, wind, and ocean data Erik Høy from Fugro Norway (blue sweater in the photo) presented Fugro Seawatch, the company’s systems for collecting weather, wind, and ocean data. Fugro develops and produces a wide range of research buoys – floating, seabed-mounted, and submersible, with production locally in Trondheim.The buoys are used for environmental monitoring, coastal protection, pollution tracking, meteorology, and energy projects in oil, gas, and renewable sectors. – Our final product is not the equipment itself, but the knowledge and data that make decisions safer and more sustainable, said Høy. Fugro now plans to expand and hire more staff in Trondheim across several disciplines. Erik Høy, Fugro Norway. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri A robot lawnmower on the fjord Sander Henriksen presented Nordic USV, which operates remotely controlled USVs, water sampling, and testing. – You can think of it as a “robot lawnmower on the fjord”, said Henriksen, explaining how the company uses the technology for fjord monitoring for both mining companies and aquaculture. Nordic USV currently operates on the west coast of Norway, Helgeland, and the Sognefjord, with several new projects underway. The company performs measurements down to 1500 meters and plans to establish a Remote Operations Center (ROC) in Trondheim. The operations center will also require staffing, and there will be more opportunities for students in Trondheim in the future, through internships and projects related to remote operations and data analysis. Sander Henriksen presented Nordic USV. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Autonomous underwater buoy Apoorva Sinha from Ocean Access presented the company’s autonomous underwater buoy, designed to enable efficient and cost-effective data communication between underwater systems and the surface. The technology makes it easier to retrieve and transmit data from the seabed without the need for expensive vessels. Apoorva Sinha from Ocean Access. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Navigation without GPS – and beyond Earth Sigmund Henningsen from SentiSystems presented the company’s advanced navigation technology designed to operate even when GPS signals are unavailable — a growing challenge due to jamming and spoofing, particularly from Russian sources, affecting maritime, land, and airborne operations. “Our system ensures precise navigation even without GPS, and the technology will soon be used to navigate a drone on the moon,” said Henningsen. The company’s core product, the SentiNAV platform, synchronizes data from multiple sensors to maintain accurate position and heading under the most demanding conditions. Sigmund Henningsen, SentiSystems. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Research, technology, and future maritime operations From SINTEF Ocean, researchers Ella-Lovise Hammervold Rørvik and Pauline Røstum Bellingmo presented work at the Norwegian Centre for Marine Technology, covering maritime ICT, cybernetics, and the SFI Autoship initiative. Ella-Lovise Hammervold Rørvik, SINTEF Ocean. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri The clusters behind innovation Yngvild Bakken Furunes presented the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and Fremtidens Industri, explaining how the clusters promote innovation, collaboration, and career opportunities in marine technology and autonomy. Furunes also highlighted how students can engage in projects, summer jobs, and networking activities through the clusters.

  "articleBody" : "Les saken på Norsk The underwater drone CORAX from Skarv Technologies in Trondheim will search for scallops in the Barents Sea in collaboration with Ava Ocean from Ålesund. The drone combines satellite communication, real-time data processing and autonomous navigation to make harvesting more precise and gentle on the seabed. Skarv Technologies develops advanced AUV systems (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles). CORAX is specially designed for operations in demanding environments and will now become part of Ava Ocean’s harvesting operations in the Barents Sea. Combining underwater technology and gentle harvesting The drone has a 24-hour battery capacity, an operational radius of up to 30 kilometres from the mother vessel, and communicates via satellite. The system processes image data directly on board and uses real-time object recognition to adjust its search pattern according to what it detects on the seabed. When CORAX locates scallops, it sends data back to the fishing vessel, enabling the crew to plan harvesting more precisely. This reduces both time and unnecessary activity on the seabed. “We developed CORAX for offshore missions in tough conditions. Our collaboration with Ava Ocean gives us a unique opportunity to demonstrate how underwater technology can make fishery operations more efficient and precise,” says Trygve Olav Fossum, CEO of Skarv Technologies. Skarv Technologies CEO Trygve Olav Fossum. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Mapping and harvesting in the High North Ava Ocean has developed a groundbreaking method for gentle seabed harvesting of scallops and other bottom-dwelling species. With CORAX, the company gains accurate data on where the resources are located, enabling targeted and gentle harvesting. “The autonomous capabilities of the CORAX system allow us to search for and locate scallops with greater precision than ever before. We look forward to putting this technology into use in our Barents Sea operations,” says Øystein Tvedt, CEO of Ava Ocean. Scallops – a valuable resource The delivery of CORAX marks an important step for the fishing industry in northern waters. By combining advanced underwater technology with gentle harvesting methods, the industry can locate and harvest seafood resources more accurately, with minimal impact on the seabed. Scallops are a highly sought-after resource that live on the seabed, often in challenging and remote areas. Effective harvesting requires knowing exactly where they are. Traditional fishing methods can damage both seabed species and ecosystems, but with CORAX, Ava Ocean gains precise data that enables targeted and gentle harvesting while protecting both the seabed and surrounding marine life. Ava Ocean harvests Arctic scallops (Chlamys islandica) – slow-growing scallops with a sweet, delicate flavour valued by seafood connoisseurs. The company is the only Norwegian supplier of Arctic scallops from the Barents Sea and has reopened this historic fishery using its innovative non-destructive seabed harvester. The scallops are cleaned and frozen at sea to preserve their quality and taste, before being hand-shucked and processed in the EU. This method ensures minimal environmental impact while delivering a product of the highest quality. Photo: Ava Ocean/Hofseth International.
