Kraken Robotics Secures $13 Million in Sonar and Battery Orders

ST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND – September 3, 2025 – Kraken Robotics Inc. has secured $13 million in new orders for its Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) and subsea battery systems. The orders come from customers in the United States, Norway, and Turkey.

One specific order includes ten SAS units. These systems, along with Kraken's SeaPower battery solutions, are slated for integration onto four different types of uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) platforms, spanning small to large classes. This indicates a broad application potential for Kraken's technology across various naval and maritime survey needs.

According to Kraken Robotics President and CEO Greg Reid, defense clients are increasingly adopting Kraken's SAS technology over traditional sonar methods. He cited the system's significantly higher area coverage rates and consistent high-resolution imaging across the entire survey swath as key advantages. This capability is crucial for operations in environments with limited survey time, enabling faster and more accurate identification of subsea hazards.

The company's SAS and SeaPower batteries are designed for platform independence, featuring modular components for easy integration into diverse UUV platforms. The announcement comes as Kraken's technology gains visibility, with its SAS systems having been previously used to classify over 50 mine-like objects during an international naval exercise in Portugal last year. These systems are expected to be featured on multiple UUV platforms during upcoming maritime operations.
