KONGSBERG WELL POSITIONED
On board the research vessel Gunnerus autonomous technology from KONGSBERG are demonstrated for the media. Systems where computers are taking control of the ship.
“In one hand you have the control systems. But you also have the censor systems that will be crucial for tomorrows autonomous vessels. KONGSBERG has a very god platform when it comes to censor technology and censor development. There are many good reasons why KONGSBERG definitely should be a part of this”, says Ueland.
The city of Trondheim is referred to as the technological capital of Norway. A status created through a unique collaboration between students, scientist and industry.
“We believe that joint collaboration between these three partners is important trough future research centres. We have a long experience with this on other areas and for now it’s important for us to develop a research area within autonomous ships where we can have a joint effort between these three parties”, says Ingrid Schjølberg, Professor and Director NTNU Oceans.
