Kraken Robotics Inc, a leader in marine technology solutions, announced significant developments in December 2025 that reinforced its presence within subsea robotics and defence sectors. Based out of Newfoundland, this firm specializes in synthetic aperture sonar (SAS), subsea batteries and related systems which support military, offshore energy and commercial maritime operations worldwide.
SAS and SeaPower Batteries Have Received $12 Million Orders
On December 2, 2025, Kraken Robotics announced purchase orders totaling approximately $12 million for their synthetic aperture sonar (SAS), KATFISH towed SAS spares, and SeaPower subsea batteries from Teledyne Marine, Terradepth, two NATO member nations' navies as well as two non-NATO member navies. These platform-agnostic products can be integrated onto autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) from small man-portable systems up to extra large unmanned undersea vehicles (XLUUVs).
Teledyne Marine purchased both Kraken SAS and SeaPower batteries from Kraken Robotics for use on its Gavia and SeaRaptor AUVs for unnamed clients in maritime applications. Terradepth integrated Kraken SAS into their Absolute Ocean operating system to aggregate multi-domain ocean data for US military operators as well as commercial clients enhancing scaled autonomous survey capabilities for government clients as well as offshore energy energy clients. Greg Reid, President & CEO of Kraken Robotics stated that these orders reflect year-end budget commitments from both organisations while underscoring its dual use nature both for maritime security applications as well as offshore energy clients.
Kraken solutions currently serve clients from more than 30 countries, providing high-resolution imaging at 3 cm x 3 cm to detect mine-like objects and subsea cables as small as 5 cm in diameter. Recent orders indicate growing adoption among defence and energy sectors alike; building upon prior successes like $13 Million announced on September 3, 2025.
Appointing Leadership Appointments To Strengthen Defense Focus
On December 4th 2025, Kraken Robotics appointed Kim Butler to its Board of Directors and hired Bernard Mills as Executive Vice President - Defence. These moves aim at increasing strategic capabilities within naval and security markets - such as recent orders received from NATO navies and defence integrators.
Butler brings extensive expertise in corporate governance and maritime sectors, while Mills brings his extensive knowledge in defence operations to support Kraken's SAS battery integrations on military platforms. Both appointments come amid a surge in demand for Kraken technologies as evidenced by orders received in December as well as ongoing deployments.
Record Q3 Performance.
These December events follow Kraken's record Q3 2025 financial results, announced November 24, 2025, which showed 60% revenue growth, 59% gross margin growth, and 25% EBITDA margin. These numbers demonstrate operational momentum with products like SeaPower batteries gaining two new customers recently in orders. Furthermore, Kraken's participation in exercises like REPMUS 2025 (where record 10 teams deployed its SAS across four UUV types) further validates field performance.
Analysts note that December's $12 million orders, combined with production ramp-up and acquisitions such as 3D at Depth for LiDAR services, position Kraken for sustained growth across subsea inspection, energy, and defence markets. Its dual-use technologies continue to attract S&P 500 firms, NATO members, offshore operators and operators from various other offshore businesses alike - driving revenue projections upward.
