Peter Brønlund, Business Development Director “Through our acoustic solutions, we see a clear opportunity to add value to the autonomy ecosystem,” says Peter Brønlund, Business Development Director at Squarehead. “Directional sound detection and integrated visual monitoring can strengthen decision-making, safety, and operational oversight in emerging autonomous applications.” The company recently signed a contract with Fjord1 to deliver an AI driven acoustic anomaly detection system for asset management and predictive maintenance — an example of the innovation Squarehead aims to contribute to the broader industry. Photo: Squarehead Developing industrial team entering a new market Squarehead has around 70 employees and an annual turnover of approximately NOK 130 million. A developing part of the organisation is currently dedicated to industrial and autonomy-related markets, which remain early-stage commercial areas for the company. These new initiatives build on Squarehead’s long-standing expertise in dual-use acoustic technology and its ongoing adaptation to meet emerging needs in industrial and autonomous systems. “Although we are a relatively large company in terms of total activity, our industrial and autonomy-focused team is still in an early stage of its development,” Brønlund explains. “This is a new and emerging market for us, but we strongly believe we can contribute to the cluster and gain significant value by being part of it.” He adds that joining OAC is an important strategic step as Squarehead accelerates its efforts within autonomy and maritime innovation.", "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" : "16/12/2025", "datePublished" : "16/12/2025", "headline" : "Squarehead joins Ocean Autonomy Cluster", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 400, "url" : "https://26558673.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/26558673/Squarehead3.jpg", "width" : 750 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://oceanautonomy.no/en-us/oacnews/squarehead-joins-the-ocean-autonomy-cluster", "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" : "Les saken på norsk Ocean Access has taken a major technological leap in the development of its submersible sensor buoy. With support from Testination and funding through the SIVA fund, the battery capacity and operational lifetime have been extended from one month to one year. “We have worked extensively with prototyping and testing, but we have now taken larger steps to get closer to the final product. We have made major changes to the control system and significantly reduced power consumption in standby mode. In addition, we have upgraded the buoy’s battery pack,” says Apoorva Sinha at Ocean Access. Bouy testing in the Nyhavna harbour basin. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri “Being able to more than tenfold the buoy’s operational lifetime is a huge step forward. We can now offer long-term deployments for our customers. The buoy gives them entirely new opportunities to collect data over long periods without interruptions, while reducing both costs and risk at sea,” he adds. The submersible sensor buoy is a central part of the company’s technology portfolio and is used for environmental monitoring, data collection, and communication in demanding maritime environments. The increased capacity significantly reduces the need for maintenance and offshore operations, resulting in both lower costs and improved safety. Apoorva Sinha, Ocean Access. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri Expanding into space technology Ocean Access is simultaneously working on a space technology project where depth measurements from the buoy are combined with satellite observations. The goal is to train models that provide better insight into ocean environmental conditions, for example detecting and understanding algal blooms. “When we combine ocean data with satellite data, we unlock a completely new ability to understand and monitor the marine environment with greater accuracy,” says Apoorva Sinha. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri The buoy provides detailed measurements throughout the entire water column, while satellites offer a broader, high-level view of the ocean surface and environmental parameters. The project will run over the next two years and is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) through Arctic Phi-Lab. The Arctic Phi-Lab consortium includes KSAT, Akvaplan-Niva, Norce, UiT and Norinnova. The project is carried out together with a German partner and is part of a broader initiative to connect ocean technology with space-based data. “Ocean Access demonstrates how new technology can open entirely new opportunities for gathering ocean knowledge. Their support from Testination and the SIVA fund is an important contribution to the innovation strength of the entire cluster,” says Frode Halvorsen, cluster manager at Ocean Autonomy Cluster.

Next door is the workshop where endless hours of screwing and tinkering await. It’s barely two years since he and his co-founder and CTO Fredrik Lilleøkdal launched the idea of new ways of monitoring the world below the ocean surface during their master study at NTNU. Now the idea has turned into a company of six employees and brand-new offices seaside where several other start-ups and maritime tech companies also are located. – This is just the right spot for a maritime start-up. We are closer to the sea, and it is possible to build up an even stronger environment in the area here, with technology companies and start-ups like us from the maritime industry. I think that kind of environment gives an important boost, Mauritzen says and explains: – From day one of our journey, we have been dependent on talking to other companies, and experienced people from the industry who can give us advice and share their experience and expertise with us. We learn new things every day, and it has been extremely important for us to have people we can talk to. I think getting an environment around you with people who help each other is hugely important. CTO Fredrik Lilleøkdal couldn’t agree more. – Here at Nyhavna, we can reduce the time we used to spend getting out to sea. Instead of packing up the car and driving across town, you can wheel the equipment straight out to sea. It is a great value, he adds. Subsea monitoring Remote ocean monitoring has been widely demanded in various maritime industries. With the current international situation and climate challenges in mind, their communication buoy is needed more than ever. – We started out investigating monitoring solutions for early detection of leakages from subsea wells on the ocean floor. But we learned early that the largest challenge was to improve how these monitoring solutions could communicate between the seabed and shore. Under the ocean surface, you are isolated with no means to communicate. This challenge triggered the journey we now are on. We are aiming to develop a system collecting data from the seabed, and periodically going up to the surface to transfer the data to other devices back onshore, says Mauritzen. The buoy can move up and down the water column and operate both subsea and on the ocean surface. By avoiding the toughest sea conditions, we can make remote operations more reliable and provide cost savings to meet the growing need for ocean data and digital operations in the scientific and offshore markets. – We see many potential applications. The oil and gas industry is an interesting sector for this technology, and monitoring of sub-seabed CO2 storage may be another application area in the future. Ocean research under the marginal ice zone in the arctics may also be an area of use. We are becoming a company that develops buoys for different segments and areas of use, but with remote monitoring, data collection, and transfer of data from the ocean as the main services, Mauritzen explains and shares some final visions of the future. – Knowing how little data we have from the ocean today, we believe this kind of monitoring will be an increasing need in the future, where big data and digitalization will be even more important, not only within the oil and gas sector but also within offshore wind, aquaculture, and climate studies, Mauritzen says.

Elwave is the world`s first and only company to offer products and systems based on innovative “Electric sense” technology. “Electric sense” is the sensory mode used by fish living in tropical, murky, and congested water habitats, where vision and sonar are ineffective. These types of fish generate an electric field (an “electric sensory bubble”) and analyze disturbances in this field caused by surroundings to deduce the presence of an object, its position, shape, and nature (insulating or conducting). Some key points about Elwave: Detection and characterization of all types of objects: 360°, real-time, insulating and conducting materials Reactive and autonomous navigation without prior knowledge of the environment: automatic avoidance of obstacles, wall tracking, docking, etc. Effective in seawater and freshwater, sediments and air Elwave is also planning to conduct some tests in Trondheim, so if you are interested in knowing more about Elwave, please contact cluster manager Frode Halvorsen, and we will put you in contact.
