Kraken SAS – Kraken Robotics

Synthetic Aperture Sonar

Providing Actionable Intelligence

Kraken Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) is a technology evolution, integrating the capability to perform imaging and bathymetric mapping simultaneously, while delivering significantly higher resolution, range, and one of the industry’s best Area Coverage Rates (ACR). From mine countermeasures and port and harbour security to infrastructure integrity surveys and broad area habitat mapping campaigns, Kraken SAS provides higher-grade information that reduces the cost and time required to make critical decisions.

Flexible, Modular Design

Integrate into vehicles ranging from man-portable to large diameter
Configurable array size: 60 cm, 120 cm or 180 cm modular array options
300 m, 1000 m, or 6000 m-rated options

Maximize Area Coverage Rate

Ranges up to 200 m per side

Improve Survey Results

Constant resolution across the entire swath
Real-time SAS resolution of 3 cm x 3 cm
Post-processed SAS resolution of 2 cm x 2 cm
Simultaneous bathymetry and dynamically focused sidescan sonar data

Increase Efficiency

Real-time full-swath processing to enable embedded automatic target recognition (ATR) and advanced autonomy features
Increased area coverage rate reduces mission time
Reduces mission duration 2-3x compared to sidescan sonar

Kraken MP-SAS

Kraken’s lightweight man-portable synthetic aperture sonar (MP-SAS) brings increased capability to low logistics, small class UUV surveys. Kraken MP-SAS uses Kraken SAS technology as a foundation, with modifications to reduce size, weight, and power.

Compact, Versatile Design

Fits small UUV diameters of 7.5+ inches and rated to 300 m depth
Lightweight transducers provide a range of up to 100 m per side
Modular payload section can be added and removed quickly in the field without recalibration
