Kongsberg Maritime subsidiary Hydroid Inc. has announced the integration of the Seaglider AUV Division into its organization.

Seaglider is being transferred from Kongsberg Underwater Technology Inc. (KUTI), which will allow Hydroid to utilize complementary technologies and markets across the REMUS and Seaglider product lines.

With the integration of Seaglider into Hydroid, the range of technical solutions and program management support that can be offered to customers also increases.

“We look forward to leveraging the strengths of these advanced technologies to enhance both product lines and offer a more diverse set of solutions to our customers,” says Duane Fotheringham, president of Hydroid.

No longer a subsidiary of Hydroid, KUTI will align its business with Kongsberg Maritime Inc. in Houston, Texas.

KUTI will continue to provide customers with Full Picture technologies, with a focus on sonars, acoustics, subsea docks and monitoring, and underwater science sensors.
