Kraken Robotics has announced the receipt of purchase orders totaling approximately $12 million for its Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) and subsea battery products.
The new orders cover Kraken SAS units, KATFISH towed SAS spares, and SeaPower batteries. These systems have been procured by a diverse group of organizations, including Teledyne Marine, Terradepth, and two navies belonging to NATO member countries.
Greg Reid, President and CEO of Kraken Robotics, said, “As we near the end of the calendar year, we are seeing many expected orders coming through before budgets reset, including two new SeaPower battery customers. Clients are from both defence and commercial organizations, highlighting how Kraken’s dual-use technology is critical across a variety of applications, from maritime security to offshore energy.”
Teledyne Marine has placed orders for both SAS and SeaPower batteries. These components are set to be integrated into their Gavia and SeaRaptor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for use by unnamed clients.
In a separate application, Kraken’s SAS technology will be deployed as part of Terradepth’s Absolute Ocean operating system, which aggregates multi-domain ocean data for U.S. military and commercial operators. This integration on Terradepth’s self-recharging AUV is intended to deliver scaled autonomous survey capabilities to government and offshore energy clients.
Both the SAS and SeaPower battery lines are designed to be platform agnostic, allowing these sensors and power systems to be integrated onto a wide range of AUVs, from small man-portable systems to extra-large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (XLUUVs). Kraken Robotics currently supports clients in over 30 countries, applying its solutions to defence, offshore energy, and marine research sectors.
