Kraken demonstrates autonomous KATFISH launch and recovery from a SEFINE USV
Kraken Robotics demonstrated autonomous launch and recovery of its KATFISH towed synthetic-aperture sonar from SEFINE's RD-22 uncrewed surface vessel.
Why it matters
The sea trial validates an integrated uncrewed workflow for deploying, recovering and operating KATFISH from a surface vessel.
Evidence notes
- Kraken and SEFINE demonstrated KATFISH launch and recovery from the RD-22 USV during sea trials off Istanbul.
- KATFISH streamed 3 cm by 3 cm resolution sonar data to an onshore command centre.
- The demonstration focused on detecting and classifying mine-like objects and critical underwater infrastructure.
Company context
