Kraken Robotics Inc. (TSX-V: PNG, OTCQB: KRKNF) has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SEFINE SISAM (Strategic Unmanned Systems Research Center) during the SAHA exposition in Türkiye. This partnership marks a significant step in advancing autonomous solutions for maritime security.
Details of the Agreement
Under the terms of the MOU, Kraken will collaborate with SISAM to integrate its KATFISH system into SISAM's mission planning software. Additionally, the companies will work together to develop automatic target recognition (ATR) capabilities for Kraken's Synthetic Aperture Sonar technology. This integration aims to enhance the speed and accuracy of underwater detection and classification operations.
Recent Successful Demonstration
Kraken and SEFINE recently conducted a successful at-sea demonstration off the coast of İstanbul, Türkiye. The demonstration showcased Kraken's KATFISH and an unmanned surface vessel (USV) launch and recovery system deployed from SEFINE's RD-22 USV. The trial validated rapid, high-resolution detection and classification of mine-like objects and critical underwater infrastructure in an operational environment.
“We’re pleased to continue our work with SEFINE following a successful at-sea demonstration earlier this year,” said Bernard Mills, Executive Vice President of Defence at Kraken Robotics. “This partnership poises us to rapidly develop and deliver relevant capability in a region that combines industrial excellence and operational need. Together, we are advancing fully integrated, autonomous solutions for seabed warfare and mine countermeasures—enhancing the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of maritime security operations.”
