HORTEN, Norway & HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KONGSBERG and Oceaneering International, Inc. (OCEANEERING) (NYSE:OII) today announced their selection by the U.S. Department of War’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to support the Combat Autonomous Maritime Platform (CAMP) program, focused on the development of an Extra-Large Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle (XLUUV) for future U.S. Navy missions.

Together, we are competing to deliver the world’s leading extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle, and I believe our partnership with OCEANEERING is a key strength in achieving that goal,” Patterson says.
