Kraken Robotics has confirmed the receipt of purchase orders totaling approximately $12 million for synthetic aperture sonar and subsea battery products.
The orders encompass Kraken’s Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), spares for the KATFISH towed SAS system, and SeaPower batteries. The technology has been procured by a distinct mix of organizations, including Teledyne Marine, Terradepth, and the navies of two 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’s order includes both sonar and power systems. These components are slated for integration into their Gavia and SeaRaptor Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) on behalf of unnamed clients.
Additionally, the Kraken SAS will be deployed within Terradepth’s Absolute Ocean operating system, a platform designed to aggregate multi-domain ocean data for U.S. military and commercial operators. This integration onto Terradepth’s self-recharging AUV aims to deliver scaled autonomous survey capabilities to government and offshore energy sectors.
Both the SAS and SeaPower battery lines are engineered to be platform-agnostic, allowing for integration across a wide range of vehicles, from small man-portable systems to Extra Large Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (XLUUVs). The company currently supports clients in over 30 countries, utilizing these solutions for defence, offshore energy, and marine research applications.
