Kraken SAS

Kraken SAS is a revolutionary miniature interferometric synthetic aperture sonar system that delivers industry-leading constant high resolution across the entire swath out to ranges of 200 meters per side, along with simultaneous bathymetry. Featuring dual-frequency transducers for nadir gap reduction, the system offers modular array capabilities with length options of 60, 120, and 180 cm, allowing it to be integrated into platforms of almost any size. Low-power electronics ensure reduced energy consumption and longer mission endurance.

The system processes raw sonar data into SAS tiles in real time, and stores these on the internal hard drive or optional removable data pod. This capability allows for embedded Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and data exfiltration capabilities of processed SAS data and contacts, and significantly reduces post-mission analysis requirements.

Kraken SAS provides surveyors with impressive boosts in efficiency, and can reduce missions durations by up to three times.
