Kraken Robotics Inc. has secured a $3 million contract to provide ultra-high resolution seabed mapping services to an undisclosed naval client, the company announced today. The project, utilizing Kraken's KATFISH™ system, is set to commence in January 2024 and will span until May 2024, focusing on strategic ports, harbors, and navigation routes.

Kraken's KATFISH™ technology is renowned for its high-speed survey capabilities, delivering ultra-high resolution imagery and bathymetry essential for inspecting subsea assets and ensuring safe maritime navigation. The service will include real-time processing of data for immediate delivery to navy officials on both manned and unmanned vessels during the survey operations.

The Canadian-headquartered marine technology provider, with offices in the Americas and Europe, is recognized among the Top 100 marine technology companies. Kraken's solutions cater to both defense and commercial sectors, offering a suite of subsea sensors, batteries, and robotic systems designed to address oceanic challenges sustainably.

This latest contract win reflects Kraken's commitment to providing advanced subsea solutions that integrate with combat mission management systems and support maritime domain awareness. The company's KATFISH™ system can be adapted for use on various vessel types and is capable of expansive seabed mapping, which is critical for the inspection of subsea infrastructures such as pipelines and ensuring the security of oceanic transit routes.
