As allied navies increasingly adopt autonomous systems, the ability to connect surface and underwater vehicles into a single operational capability is becoming increasingly important. During REPMUS 2026, Maritime Robotics and Skarv Technologies demonstrated exactly that by pairing the Mariner X uncrewed surface vessel (USV) with the CORAX 600 autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in realistic operational scenarios. The exercise, held in Tróia and Sesimbra, Portugal, brought together naval forces, defence stakeholders, industry partners and technology providers from across NATO and allied nations to test and evaluate maritime uncrewed systems in operational conditions. The Norwegian companies used the opportunity to demonstrate a fully uncrewed surface-subsea solution supporting both mine countermeasures (MCM) and rapid environmental assessment (REA). Solving one of the key challenges below the surface While autonomous systems have transformed operations on land and in the air, underwater operations remain constrained by one fundamental challenge: communication. GPS, LTE and other radio signals do not penetrate water, making navigation and command-and-control difficult for autonomous underwater vehicles. At REPMUS, the Mariner X USV addressed this challenge by operating as a mobile command node, communication bridge and positioning reference for the CORAX 600. By following the AUV's survey pattern from the surface, Mariner X continuously provided acoustic positioning updates while relaying status reports, mission data and re-tasking information between the underwater vehicle and operators ashore. The CORAX 600 is designed for close-range subsea operations, combining sidescan sonar, acoustic sensors and high-resolution optical imaging. The vehicle can identify and classify underwater contacts and collect detailed data for mine countermeasure missions, environmental assessment and inspection of critical subsea infrastructure. A safer and more efficient approach to mine countermeasures The integrated system demonstrated at REPMUS allows mine countermeasure operations to be conducted without exposing divers or crewed vessels to hazardous areas. Instead, the CORAX 600 surveys the seabed, investigates potential contacts and transmits information back through the Mariner X to operators located at a safe distance. The same capability can also be used for rapid environmental assessment, mapping seabed conditions and bathymetry ahead of naval operations or offshore infrastructure projects. By combining surface connectivity with advanced subsea sensing, the solution provides faster access to operationally relevant information while reducing the logistical footprint traditionally associated with such missions. According to the companies, the demonstration highlighted three key operational advantages: enhanced safety by keeping personnel away from potential hazards, improved navigation accuracy through continuous surface-to-subsea positioning support, and greater deployability through a compact system that can be transported by trailer or container and launched from small slipways by a limited crew. Building on previous collaboration The REPMUS deployment follows an earlier joint demonstration by Maritime Robotics and Skarv Technologies during the IXES exercise at Mongstad in Norway. Together, the two deployments illustrate the versatility of the combined capability, from protecting critical national infrastructure at home to supporting expeditionary mine countermeasure operations in an allied military context. The collaboration also demonstrates the growing strength of Norway's maritime autonomy ecosystem. By integrating autonomous surface and underwater platforms into a single operational solution, Norwegian industry is helping shape the future of maritime security and defence operations. For Ocean Autonomy Cluster and NORDSEC – Nordic Defence and Security Cluster, the successful demonstration highlights how dual-use technologies developed by cluster members can address both civilian and defence needs. As autonomous and uncrewed systems become an increasingly important part of allied maritime capabilities, collaborations such as the one between Maritime Robotics and Skarv Technologies show how Norwegian innovation can contribute to safer, smarter and more scalable maritime operations. Skarv Technologies Skarv Technologies AS designs and builds autonomous underwater vehicles in Trondheim, Norway. Its CORAX 600 AUV system comes in several models and sensor integrations, all based on a hovering, six-thruster design rated to 600 metres and made for close-range subsea work. Skarv also handles the data analysis for detection, classification and photogrammetry, as part of an end-to-end system that runs from vehicle to finished results. Skarv’s customers work in defence and commercial maritime applications, and use CORAX for mine countermeasures, rapid environmental assessment and inspection of critical subsea infrastructure.

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.

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.

The ability to balance his passion for rocket development with his summer job at Skarv made the summer an unforgettable experience. Through this balance, Simen gained a deeper understanding of the maritime industry, particularly seabed exploration—a field he was previously unfamiliar with but now finds deeply fascinating.

The Value of Summer Interns Skarv Technologies CEO Trygve Olav Fossum emphasizes the value of bringing in summer interns. Since the company’s founding in 2019, they have successfully recruited students from NTNU, especially in the fields of cybernetics, marine engineering, and electronic systems. Trygve highlights that summer interns bring unique skills and fresh perspectives that enhance the company's development processes. During the summer, the interns have contributed creative solutions to concrete challenges, and several of the ideas we’ve taken forward have come from their work, Trygve says. The fresh perspectives they offer give us new insights and opportunities to test ideas in practice. It also allows us to build relationships with potential future colleagues. For Simen Flåtter Flo, the summer at Skarv Technologies has been an invaluable experience, both professionally and personally. Through close collaboration with experienced engineers, he gained insight into a fascinating industry and contributed to innovation in maritime technology.", "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" : "04/09/2024", "datePublished" : "04/09/2024", "headline" : "Summer Intern at Skarv Technologies: An Unforgettable Experience", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 400, "url" : "https://26558673.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/26558673/thumbnail_IMG_4791.jpg", "width" : 750 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://oceanautonomy.no/en-us/oacnews/summer-intern-at-skarv-technologies-an-unforgettable-experience", "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" : "A Norwegian-developed advanced underwater vehicle and a compact sonar that renders objects three-dimensionally have now become part of a NATO initiative.

A strategic initiative is now unveiled. Eighteen maritime stakeholders are coming together to establish the Strategic Forum for Nyhavna. The ambition is to develop a world-leading ocean technology community at Nyhavna. Trondheim has a historic opportunity to create Norway's Silicon Harbor on Nyhavna, a pivotal part of Trondheim's evolution as a technology capital. The strategic importance of Nyhavna cannot be overstated. It is not merely a harbor; it is a crucible of innovation, a convergence of established enterprises and startups, all dedicated to advancing maritime technology. The formation of the Strategic Forum for Nyhavna is a testament to the urgency of consolidating this vibrant ecosystem and elevating its visibility in both societal discourse and the developmental processes surrounding Nyhavna. From the opening of NYNU Nyhavna. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset The initiative stems from the desire to gather and promote the interests of marine technology, maritime industry, and related actors at Nyhavna. It is high time that the technology community associated with Nyhavna unites and highlights the ongoing developments, innovations, and value creation. This community needs a clear voice in societal discussions and the processes surrounding Nyhavna's development. The Strategic Forum for Nyhavna aims to secure the interests of ocean technology, maritime industry, and adjacent stakeholders at Nyhavna, working towards making it the world's leading area for ocean technology. From the opening of NTNU Nyhavna. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset Nyhavna boasts a robust ocean technology community with a mix of established companies and startups. This is something we need to build upon, says Frode Halvorsen of Ocean Autonomy Cluster. Ocean technology is crucial in the technology capital, and it requires access to quaysides and the fjord. Trondheimsfjorden, established as the world's first test area for autonomous vessels, he adds. The city council has been explicit in its commitment to facilitating business and industry at Nyhavna. This commitment is part of the rationale behind presenting a dedicated business program for the area, scheduled for consideration by the city council next year. The focus is on securing the natural place of ocean technology at Nyhavna. Since the adoption of the municipal plan in 2016, the presence of ocean technology companies has significantly increased, with many of them finding a home in Nyhavna. Here, they have access to quaysides and the fjord, essential for their continued development. Additionally, there is increased activity from NTNU, involving both students and researchers. The opening of NTNU Nyhavna this summer demonstrated the considerable interest in the innovation environment here. Background/Facts The Strategic Forum for Nyhavna comprises 18 key stakeholders. Its purpose is to safeguard the interests of ocean technology, maritime industry, and related stakeholders on Nyhavna, working towards establishing Nyhavna as the world's leading area for maritime technology. The objectives include communication and profiling of ocean technology actors on Nyhavna, maintaining an ongoing dialogue with policymakers, administration, and other stakeholders, and actively contributing to reports and processes crucial for Nyhavna's development.
