Kraken Robotics has revealed significant $11 million in new orders for its SeaPower™ pressure-tolerant batteries, designed for uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs).
This brings the company’s total new battery orders for the year to $45 million, largely driven by demand within the defense sector.
What sets SeaPower batteries apart is their ability to withstand extreme deep-sea pressures without the need for traditional pressure housing or oil compensation. Encased in a proprietary silicon polymer matrix, these modular batteries are designed to endure pressures up to 660 bar, equivalent to depths of 6,000 meters. SeaPower’s high energy density ensures UUVs can achieve longer and more intricate missions with reliable, safe power.
As Kraken Robotics continues to expand its subsea power capabilities, the company is making strides to meet growing demand in the defense sector. Recently, Kraken unveiled plans to establish a new battery manufacturing facility in Nova Scotia, which will more than triple production capacity. Additionally, Kraken is developing new battery form factors for small and medium-class UUVs, with release expected in late 2025.
