Challenge and Solution

The Challenge

Traditional maritime surveying is expensive and slow. 71.3% (as of 2026) of the seabed is unmapped, while very little is mapped to survey-grade quality.

The Solution

Swarm-based autonomous sensor fleets. By distributing the mapping workload across intelligent, synchronized USVs, we multiply coverage speed while delivering survey-grade bathymetry.

About Jormun Mapping AS

We are a deep-tech R&D company specializing in maritime underwater mapping.

Our mission is to create a radically new way to illuminate the seabed — combining autonomous drone fleets with cutting-edge sensor payloads, we will revolutionize underwater mapping.

The name Jormun comes from Jörmungandr - the Midgard/World Serpent. The prefix "jǫrmun(r)" denotes something huge or vast/the vastness - meaning the World. As Jörmungandr stretched around the world, so shall Jormun Mapping.
