The war in Ukraine has shown us that our enemies are not opposed to targeting critical infrastructure. The Russians have ruthlessly attacked dams, power plants, nuclear facilities, pipelines, ports, grain storage facilities, and other essential societal functions. Out in the North Sea, we have 8,800 km of gas pipelines. Norway has 93 different oil installations, and an extensive network of cables and communication systems. The threats are numerous, complex, and difficult to detect. After the Nord Stream sabotage, additional protective measures have been implemented at facilities related to the offshore industry. However, our understanding is that this is not enough. Read more about critical infrastructure here: https://lnkd.in/dtKBnf6k #criticalinfrastructure #maritime #security

Is there an optimal way to transmit data through ice? This is the challenge at the heart of a ground-breaking collaboration project between SINTEF, University of Oslo, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Norsk Polarinstitutt • Norwegian Polar Institute, Mustad Autoline AS, and our business area Kongsberg Discovery. SubZeroSpace brings together each partner's collective talents, resources and networks to solve a challenge that impacts the effective communication of data worldwide, and beyond. Combining multiple innovative technologies introduces powerful new means of communication and enhances safety in icy environments. The goal is to find a way to communicate through ice using acoustic sensors to autonomously detect and avoid hazards near, and through, ice and water. The results could revolutionize how research is conducted in harsh and extreme conditions. However, ice represents challenges.

Over three billion people globally rely on fish and seafood as their main source of nutrition. For the traditional fishing nation of Norway, fish is one of our most important exports. Now, a race against time is underway to save life in the sea. The UN estimates that between 10 and 26 million tons of fish are caught outside the regulated market every year – equaling between 14 and 33 percent of the global reported catch. Although these estimates may be very uncertain, the numbers are undoubtedly high. Given that illegal fishing is often linked to narcotics smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, corruption, and other forms of crime, there are good reasons for serious fishing nations wanting to eliminate this activity. Advanced technology has also become key for daily operations on trawlers and fishing vessels. There is even technology out in space helping to ensure sustainable ocean management.
