Defence
Global naval defence is increasingly shaped by rising political tensions, ongoing wars, and the strategic importance of international waters—especially in contested regions like the South China Sea and the Arctic.
As nations compete for control and influence, naval forces are being deployed to safeguard national security, support free trade, and maintain stability across critical maritime chokepoints.
Kraken Synthetic Aperture Sonar and LiDAR solutions provide actionable intelligence in these contested zones, empowering armed forces to complete their missions efficiently and safely. With the highest energy density available for subsea batteries, Kraken’s SeaPower solutions extend mission endurance, enabling longer, more complex operations in GPS-denied and high-risk environments.
Defence Sector Applications
Mine Countermeasure (MCM) and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Operations
Naval forces face increasing threats from underwater mines and unexploded ordnance. Kraken’s Synthetic Aperture Sonar and Subsea LiDAR solutions have been trusted by navies worldwide to help classify mine-like objects and UXOs.
- Locate ferrous and non-ferrous targets on the ocean floor
- Detect ferrous and non-ferrous buried targets beneath the seabed
- Precise measurements of targets to aid in classification
Critical Underwater Infrastructure (CUI) Inspection
Marine infrastructure requires surveillance and defence to ensure national, economic, and environmental security. Kraken’s 3D imaging solutions help protect and monitor essential subsea assets including:
- Pipeline Inspection
- Communications Cables
- Seabed Installations
Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Power Solutions
Kraken’s SeaPower batteries provide scalable energy from 1.8 kWh to 5 MWh to power small, medium, large, or extra-large platforms. They deliver 200% greater energy density and 46% less weight per kWh compared to traditional oil-compensated or pressure-housed subsea batteries.
