Kraken Robotics (PNG) recently participated in the Royal Navy’s (RN) WILTON Industry Show and Experiment (WISEX).
WISEX provides an opportunity for industries to showcase new systems for consideration by the RN. With live demos and sea trials, the RN is better able to understand the demonstrated technology, including software, sensors, and effectors necessary to implement a highly reliable Mine Hunting Capability (MHC).
For these trials, Kraken teamed with Elbit Systems UK to demonstrate the KATFISH High-Speed Towed Synthetic Aperture Sonar System. During the trials, the Kraken KATFISH was launched, operated, and recovered in varying surface conditions, including Sea State 4. Live, high-resolution SAS data was wirelessly transmitted to a shore-based operators station over several kilometres, where operators found all MLO targets in real-time during the missions.
“The Royal Navy has established WISEX to allow industry to demonstrate their autonomous mine countermeasures systems in the challenging naval exercise areas of the west coast of Scotland,” says Commander Ben Sait. “This demonstration is part of the Mine Hunting Capability programme, which is at the forefront of next-generation maritime autonomous systems. The Royal Navy is grateful for Kraken Robotics’ participation and excited by the capability they demonstrated as the programme develops into its next phase.”
KATFISH is a high-speed, actively stabilized Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) towfish that operates at speeds up to 10 knots.
Kraken has recently delivered KATFISH systems to the Royal Danish and Polish Navies and expects them to be operational in Q1 2023.
Kraken Robotics is a marine technology company dedicated to the production and sale of software-centric sensors, subsea batteries, and underwater robotic systems. The company is headquartered in Newfoundland with offices in Canada, U.S., Germany, Denmark, and Brazil.
