Kraken Robotics Inc. has announced receiving purchase orders for synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) and battery products totaling approximately $12 million. Orders for Kraken SAS, KATFISH towed SAS spares, and SeaPower batteries have been placed by multiple organizations, including Teledyne Marine, Terradepth, and two NATO-member navies.
“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,” said Greg Reid, President and CEO of Kraken Robotics. “Clients are from both defence and commercial organizations, highlighting how Kraken’s dual-use technology is critical across applications from maritime security to offshore energy.”
Teledyne Marine placed orders for both Kraken SAS and SeaPower batteries, which will be integrated on their Gavia and SeaRaptor autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for unnamed clients. Kraken SAS will also be deployed as part of Terradepth’s Absolute Ocean operating system, which aggregates multi-domain ocean data for U.S. military and commercial operators. The integration on Terradepth’s self-recharging AUV delivers scaled autonomous survey capabilities to government and offshore energy clients.
Kraken SAS and SeaPower batteries are platform-agnostic, making these advanced sensors and power systems available for integration on any AUV, from small man-portable systems to XLUUVs. Supporting clients in more than 30 countries worldwide, Kraken Robotics’ solutions are exploring and securing oceans for defence, offshore energy, and marine research.
