About
Erlend Vagsholm is a leading researcher in autonomous marine systems, with a focus on heterogeneous vehicle networks for ocean research and management. His most cited work, a 2016 study, demonstrated a pioneering field experiment integrating a research vessel, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) into a single, cooperative network. This collaboration—involving NTNU, FFI, Kongsberg Seatex, LSTS, and Maritime Robotics—showcased how diverse platforms could communicate, coordinate maneuvers, and process data in real time, advancing the practical deployment of multi-vehicle systems for marine monitoring. With 24 citations, Vagsholm’s research has laid groundwork for cost-effective, scalable ocean observation, directly impacting environmental management and defense applications. His work is notable for bridging academic research and industrial innovation, emphasizing real-world experimentation over theoretical models. For students and researchers, Vagsholm’s contributions highlight the transformative potential of autonomous fleets in addressing complex marine challenges.
