The spread of alien species via ships is a major threat to marine environments worldwide. The HullSkater robot attaches itself to ship hulls and cleans them, not only contributing to reducing CO2 emissions but also preventing unauthorized species from hitchhiking.

Noise poses a significant challenge for marine life. Whales communicate across vast distances, and human-generated sounds impact both mammals and fish below and above the ocean surface. Propellers and engine noise contribute to this noise pollution issue, which Kongsberg Maritime has addressed by developing silent propellers.

Drone technology is rapidly advancing and can pose a threat to various facilities, including airports and industrial sites on land and at sea. In collaboration with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has developed an advanced radar system that effectively detects and identifies drone threats.

Is Jupiter our future home? The "Juice" satellite is due to arrive at the largest planet in our solar system in eight years' time – on a mission to search for life. Kongsberg Gruppen has assisted ESA (European Space Agency) with several components to make the journey possible.

Did you know that the Norwegian air defence system NASAMS, partially developed by Kongsberg Gruppen, has saved many lives in Ukraine? NASAMS is a modular, mobile, and network-based system, and is used by twelve nations including Spain, the USA, the Netherlands, Finland, Australia, Indonesia, and Ukraine. The defence system had its baptism of fire in Ukraine, and both the Ukrainian defence forces and Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelensky have lauded NASAMS both in reports, from the podium, and in video recordings.

If we are to reach climate goals and keep the increase in temperature down, preserving the rainforest is a crucial part of the solution. Satellites from Kongsberg Gruppen have revolutionised the global efforts in rainforest conservation. Regularly updated images of rainforest from all over the world, provide unique insight into what’s happening in the tropical countries. By examining the images, it’s possible to calculate how much forest has been cut down, and also expose illegal logging.

The Oslo Fjord is not in good shape. Several species of fish are disappearing, and important areas with kelp forests and eelgrass have declined in recent years. Researchers are observing increased algal blooms, sedimentation, and more zones of dead water. Through the Frisk Oslofjord project, Kongsberg has tested groundbreaking marine technology in the Oslo fjord with the goal of ensuring a healthy fjord, rich in outdoor activities and nature experiences, for future generations.
