Kraken Robotics maritime technology expansion

Overview

Kraken Robotics has been expanding its presence in the unmanned maritime technology sector. Initially, the Canadian company focused on its role as a sub-sea component supplier, providing battery technology, sonar, and communication systems for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). This growth included a merger with the Covelya Group to scale its naval warfare capabilities.

Following these developments, Kraken Technology Group partnered with Saab UK to unveil a prototype autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV). This new system integrates the K3 SCOUT USV platform with Giraffe 1X 3D radar to detect and track low-altitude, small aerial threats, such as UAVs. The platform is designed to provide early warning for maritime infrastructure and can operate as part of a distributed surveillance network.
