KONGSBERG and OCEANEERING Selected by U.S. Department of War for XLUUV CAMP Program
KONGSBERG and Oceaneering International, Inc. have been chosen by the U.S. Department of War’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to support the Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform (CAMP) program. This initiative focuses on developing an Extra-Large Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV) for future U.S. Navy operations. The CAMP program aims to expedite the integration of mature commercial and defense technologies into operational capabilities for the Navy. The collaboration will emphasize concept definition, system architecture, and design trade studies, with a focus on modularity and interoperability. The design for the XLUUV is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of this year. This partnership leverages KONGSBERG's extensive maritime engineering legacy and Oceaneering's expertise in subsea robotic services, enhancing their ability to deliver advanced uncrewed undersea platforms.
