Kraken Robotics Inc. products

Kraken has successfully developed and deployed a high-resolution Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (InSAS) called AquaPix®.  AquaPix® is capable of providing detailed seabed images with a constant resolution better than 3cm x 3cm out to a range of 300m from each side of an underwater vehicle (600m swath). It can also produce 3D bathymetric data with a resolution better than 25cm x 25cm out to full range while delivering very high depth accuracy, in compliance with IHO S44 special order requirements.

MINSAS is an off the shelf configurable Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) which replaces high end sidescan systems at an affordable price, while delivering significantly higher resolution, range, and area coverage rates (ACR).

The Kraken SeaVision system is a revolutionary new take on subsea 3D laser imaging. Designed to operate in a twin scanning configuration, with adjustable baseline, SeaVision can generate very high resolution 3D scans in full color. This is due to one of the unique features of SeaVision® which uses a Tri-Color laser system to produce full color imagery. Each unit has a low-light underwater camera, a high power LED light, and steerable RGB-line lasers.

KATFISH acquires over 3 billion pixels per 3km² per hour of area coverage rate. That’s 30 times more detail than conventional side scan sonar. Advanced algorithms perform thousands of adjustments per second to ensure every pixel displays data with incredible clarity. KATFISH is engineered using our innovative and proven Synthetic Aperture Sonar technology – now deployed in over 10 countries by leading military and commercial operators. KATFISH provides the industry’s highest resolution seabed pixels at the lowest cost.

The Kraken ThunderFish® is a highly advanced, 6000 meter rated, Hovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (H-AUV). The ThunderFish® AUV program development began in 2014 with a mission to create a more versatile and compact vehicle that is easier to handle than existing systems, while providing more space for payloads, and fast turn-around times.

Launch and recovery is one of the highest risk operations undertaken in the application of towed or autonomous underwater vehicles. The primary function of an autonomous launch and recovery system is to enable an unmanned vehicle and its payloads to be brought aboard a host ship safely, efficiently and without damage.

DataPod has been designed to meet today’s data storage requirements for rugged marine applications. It combines the ease of use of a Network Attached Storage system with the reliability of a RAID array and solid state storage all in one compact unit. Each DataPod™ module utilizes the latest solid-state disk drive technology to provide a high-density, reliable, removable data storage solution. The unit enables high bandwidth recording with up to 2.5 Terabytes (2 TB in RAID configuration) in a 1000m depth rated pressure module. Each DataPod™ weighs less than 3 kilograms and is built to withstand extremes in temperature, shock, vibration and water integrity.
