Kraken Robotics Secures $13 Million in Landmark Underwater Technology Sales

Kraken Robotics, a global leader in marine robotics and subsea technology, has announced a significant boost to its order book, securing approximately $13 million in new contracts and crucial repeat orders. This impressive influx of business is primarily centered around its highly advanced Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) systems and its innovative line of pressure-tolerant batteries, with deliveries scheduled to span 2025 and extend into 2026.

The core of these new contracts highlights the unparalleled demand for Kraken’s cutting-edge AquaPix® MINSAS systems.

These sophisticated sonar technologies are renowned for their superior image resolution and ability to cover large areas efficiently, making them indispensable for critical underwater missions. A major portion of these sales comes from a prominent international defense contractor, who has placed substantial repeat orders for Kraken’s SAS systems.

Furthermore, an additional strategic customer has committed to further SAS systems specifically for an Unmanned Maritime Vehicle (UMV) program, underscoring Kraken's pivotal role in the future of autonomous underwater operations.

Beyond its acclaimed sonar capabilities, Kraken's SeaPower® line of pressure-tolerant batteries continues to gain significant traction.

Designed for reliability and performance in the harshest deep-sea environments, these robust battery solutions are seeing increased adoption across diverse applications. Recent orders for SeaPower® batteries include multiple NATO navies, testament to their trusted performance in critical military applications, alongside various commercial clients who rely on Kraken’s power solutions for demanding subsea tasks.

Karl Kenny, President and CEO of Kraken Robotics, highlighted the strategic importance of these developments.

"These orders are a strong validation of our market leadership in underwater imaging and battery solutions," Kenny stated. "The long sales cycles inherent in defense programs mean that these repeat orders reflect a sustained, deep commitment from our clients, built on years of proven performance and trust.

Our SAS technology, with its unmatched imaging capabilities, continues to set the industry standard, and our SeaPower® batteries are becoming the power solution of choice for next-generation subsea platforms."

The company emphasized that the sustained demand for its SAS products is driven by their superior performance over traditional side scan sonars.

The ability to generate high-resolution imagery and 3D bathymetry in challenging underwater conditions is crucial for modern defense, scientific research, and commercial applications. As the world increasingly looks to the oceans for resources, security, and exploration, Kraken Robotics stands at the forefront, providing the essential tools to navigate, map, and understand the subsea domain.

These recent sales solidify Kraken's position as an indispensable partner for advanced underwater operations worldwide, promising continued innovation and growth in the years ahead.
