HII REMUS 620 with Kraken MINSAS 60 Payload

Kraken’s (PNG) AquaPix MINSAS system was selected as the standard payload offering on HII’s new REMUS 620 medium-class UUV.  

The Miniature Synthetic Aperture Sonar (MINSAS) is quickly becoming the tool of choice for mine countermeasure operations. This is due to its significantly increased resolution and higher area coverage rates compared to legacy Side Scan Sonar.

Higher-resolution imagery directly correlates to the reduction of false positives by human operators and Automatic Target Recognition software. Kraken’s SAS products have been integrated into the HII Unmanned Systems range of small, medium and large AUVs. It offers many opportunities to increase the Mine Hunting and MCM Capabilities of many NATO nations.

Kraken’s MINSAS provides out-of-the-box high-resolution, real-time onboard beamforming, which supports embedded ATR. It enables smart autonomy features such as dynamic mission re-tasking based on contacts identified.

The AquaPix is an off-the-shelf, configurable SAS that replaces high-end sidescan systems at an affordable price. The increased range, resolution, and higher useable ACR of SAS over traditional Side Scan Sonar systems expand the capabilities of naval, scientific, and commercial applications.

Kraken engages in the design, manufacture and sale of software-centric sensors and underwater robotic systems. 

Kraken Robotics Inc. (PNG) is down 5.00 per cent, trading at C$0.57 per share at 4:05 pm ET.
