In response to an increasing need for safeguarding critical maritime infrastructure due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and an increasingly dynamic risk picture, Norway’s KONGSBERG has opened a maritime test bed for protecting potentially vulnerable infrastructure such as subsea pipelines, power cables, and ports, among others.

At the Oslofjord CMI Protection Test Bed, opened on June 30 in Horten, Norway, new technologies, products, and systems can be tested and demonstrated, with the facility also enabling partners and authorities to explore different scenarios, simulate responses, and undertake training with real-time monitoring data from radars, satellites, and underwater sensors.
