The Company The Company Kongsberg Maritime is a global company provid- ing solutions for shipping, offshore, oil & gas, subsea, navy, coastal marine and Þ sh-eries, maritime training, port and harbor surveillance and more. The company deliv- ers systems for positioning, surveying, navigation and automation, and is a market leader in dynamic position-ing systems, automation and surveillance systems, process automation, satellite naviga- tion and hydroacoustics. In-tegration of various systems is a key driver to Kongsberg Maritim. Headquartered in Kongs- berg, Norway, the company is present in 25 countries. Kongsberg MaritimeÕs sub- sea department develops and markets underwater position- ing and navigation, including the standard of HPR and HiPAP systems and inertial navigation through Hydroacoustic Aided Inertial Naviagation, the HAIN systems. Transponders for any water depth and any of the LBL, SBL, SSBL or combined principles. Underwater cameras. Acoustic telemetry vertical and horizontal, up to 15 km. Acoustic BOP emergency control. Hydrographic precision echo sounders of single beam and multibeam types, for surface ship, ROV towed and AUV applications. Hydrographic datapro- cessing software. Integrated instrumentation systems. Active sonars for both antisubmarine warfare, obstacle avoidance and mine detection and classiÞ cation. Products specially designed for Littoral Warfare and brown water operations. The Tech The Tech Kongsberg Maritime is committed to developing new and innovative products that use the latest technology and tech- niques to the operational and economic beneÞ t of its many customers. The companyÕs multibeam echo sounder systems for seabed mapping include models for all water depths, and virtually any application and the subsea department offers hydroacoustic systems for all eventualities. In addition to the Horten facility, Kongsberg MesotechÕs Vancouver facility is responsible for the design and manufacture of underwater acoustic products, including: Imaging and Pro ling Mechanically Scanned Sonars  Multibeam Imaging Sonars  Altimeters Kongsberg Maritime offers complete mapping systems, pro- viding turn-key survey solutions including multibeam echo sounders connected to positioning equipment, heading and motion sensing instruments, as well as sound velocity sensors in order to position the soundings correctly. The entire pack- age, including software is designed, manufacturer and often installed by Kongsberg Maritime. The company is also a lead- er in the Þ eld of underwater cameras and AUV development, counting several navies and the worldÕs leading survey com- panies as customers of its HUGIN AUV. This cutting-edge AUV has been a key technology development area since 1990 and is used for a variety of civilian and military applications, including: High-resolution high-speed seabed mapping and im-aging; Ocean exploration and monitoring; Marine geological survey; Inspection of underwater engineering structures and pipelines; Mine countermeasures - MCM; Rapid environmen- tal assessment -REA/Battlespace access; and Anti-submarine warfare - ASW Strandpromenaden 50, Strandpromenaden 50, Horten, Norway 3183 Horten, Norway 3183 Tel: +47 33 03 41 00 Tel: +47 33 03 41 00 Email: subsea@kongs- Email: subsea@kongs- berg.com berg.com Website: www.kongs- Website: www.kongs- berg.com berg.com CEO/President CEO/President: Walter Quam President: President: Geir Håøy (Kongsberg Maritime) Fa Facilitycility: Kongsberg Maritime ?

KONGSBERG MARITIME KONGSBERG MARITIME Based in Waterloo, Ontario, and founded in 2007, 2G Robotics underwater laser scanner and imageenhancement software goes beyond the capabilities of traditional sonar and video inspection to provide detailed inspection of even the slightest variances in underwater environments. 2G Robotics engineering expe- rience in systems design and deployment of underwater, terrestrial, and aerial robotic systems, combined with our use of advanced engineering design meth- ods makes our company the ideal partner for advanced underwater inspection. The scanners have been designed to create digital 3D models of the object(s) being scanned to provide precise measurements. When in operation, the ULS scans an area deÞ ned by the 50 degree fan beam emitted from the scanner and the rotation of the scanning head, capable of scanning a full 360 degree circum- ference. The ULS systems have an effective operating range of over 5 m; howev- er, best results are achieved when the scanner is as close as possible to its target. 2G ROBOTICS 2G ROBOTICS 10-614 Colby Drive, Waterloo, 10-614 Colby Drive, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2V 1A2 Ontario, Canada N2V 1A2Tel: 519-886-8859 Tel: 519-886-8859 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] http://www.2grobotics.com/ http://www.2grobotics.com/ CEO/President CEO/President Jason Gillham Jason GillhamNumber Of Employee 5 Number Of Employee 5 July/August 2012 8 MTRMTR #6 (1-17).indd 8MTR #6 (1-17).indd 88/1/2012 10:40:04 AM8/1/2012 10:40:04 AM
