Anduril, Kraken Scale Unmanned Vessels For Naval Dominance

Anduril Industries partnered with Kraken Technology Group to bring "small, high-performance, mass-producible" unmanned surface vessels (USVs) to the U.S. Navy.

The partnership is designed to pair Kraken's autonomous boats with Anduril's defense stack.

"This partnership reflects Kraken's commitment to supporting global maritime challenges with hardened operational capabilities at a critical point in history. Under this agreement, Kraken will deliver low-cost, scalable and modular systems that are both reliable and effective," said Mal Crease, founder and CEO of Kraken Technology Group.

Under the agreement, Kraken's K7 SABRE and K5 KRAKEN USVs are slated to be produced and integrated in the U.S. through a licensing arrangement. The companies also plan to offer modular payload options intended to "improve flexibility and compatibility" for U.S. forces and NATO partners.

"Kraken is known for its proven, battle-tested platforms. This partnership expands Anduril's family of autonomous surface offerings with small boats carrying mission payloads, adding a complementary capability to larger ASVs and the legacy fleet," said Cory Emmons, general manager of Surface Dominance, Anduril Industries.
