Kraken Robotics
Kraken Robotics builds synthetic-aperture sonar systems, towed imaging platforms, and pressure-tolerant subsea batteries for naval mine countermeasures and UUV programs.
Background
Kraken Robotics was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Mount Pearl (St. John's area), Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The company is publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (PNG) and the OTCQB (KRKNF).
The CEO listed in company filings is Greg Reid, though some mid-2026 sources reference David S. Puglisi in a leadership capacity.
The core product portfolio centers on two lines: the KATFISH towed synthetic-aperture sonar, capable of 10-knot operations and delivering optical-comparable seabed resolution for mine countermeasures and pipeline inspection; and SeaPower, a pressure-tolerant battery system engineered for AUVs and UUVs operating at depth.
Additional offerings include interferometric sonar arrays, laser imaging systems, acoustic ranging sensors, and mission-planning software integration with SEFINE SISAM for mine countermeasures.
Kraken sells directly to naval agencies and through OEM partnerships with defense integrators such as Anduril.
The March 2026 acquisition of Covelya Group — a major underwater-technology supplier previously associated with Sonardyne Holdings — materially expanded its addressable market. The combined entity is estimated at roughly 300–400 employees across Canada, the UK, and Asia.
