Kraken Robotics Named to 2025 MTR100 List

Marine Technology Reporter has selected Kraken Robotics for its 2025 MTR100 list, an annual recognition of influential companies in the marine technology sector. Since its inception in 2012, Kraken has expanded its workforce to 266 employees, focusing on the design and manufacture of subsea sensors, autonomous robotic systems, and survey services.

The firm's technology portfolio features the KATFISH system, an actively stabilized synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) capable of high-speed seabed intelligence collection. This system is primarily utilized for mine countermeasures and hydrographic surveying. Furthermore, the company develops miniaturized SAS payloads for autonomous underwater vehicles (UUVs), which allow for real-time bathymetric data processing.

Kraken’s operations also include the production of SeaPower, a pressure-tolerant, modular battery technology intended to increase the endurance of subsea platforms. The company’s survey division utilizes acoustic coring and imaging tools to support offshore wind farm development and unexploded ordnance detection. This recognition highlights the firm’s continued integration into both defense and commercial subsea infrastructure markets.
