Abstract
Hugin is an untethered underwater vehicle (UUV) intended for bathymetric seabed surveying. This paper presents a description of the vehicle with emphasis on the acoustic instrumentation. The authors specifically describe the integration of the different acoustic systems and how they affect each other. They also summarise the operational results and gives indications with regard to future plans
