Leading Norwegian technology company Kongsberg has announced that it has signed a new contract for the delivery of its market-leading technologies to protect critical infrastructure, highlighting the growing demand for solutions that safeguard high-value assets and resources.

The critical infrastructure includes essential systems such as oil and gas installations, telecommunication cables, energy grids, ports, and transportation networks, which must be protected against a wide range of threats, from cyber-attacks to natural disasters and physical sabotage.

Announcing this, Kongsberg said the project is for an unnamed international customer and will focus primarily on underwater surveillance and protection.

“Preventing and detecting threats and attacks are essential to protect people and critical infrastructure. Kongsberg has the solutions and technology to support countries and industries in their efforts to build resilient systems and maintain operations. This is fundamental in today’s rapidly changing geopolitical landscape,” said its President and CEO Eirik Lie. 

A major global player, Kongsberg said its technology enables full-scale delivery across air and underwater domains, including situational awareness, response, inspection, surveillance, and monitoring.

“We are pleased to support this major project with robust protection systems that provide access to data and analysis for time-critical decisions,” remarked Camilla Kiss, the President of Discovery, a division of the Norwegian group. “Our technology enables full-scale delivery across air and underwater domains, including situational awareness, response, inspection, surveillance, and monitoring,” she noted.

“The contract underpins how the market for infrastructure protection is evolving from recognising the need, to signing a firm order to implement the right solutions. It is also a proof of how Kongsberg has the technologies and people to serve this growing market,” she added.
