Kraken Robotics Demonstrates Autonomous Launch and Recovery of KATFISH Sonar System from SEFINE Shipyard USV

Kraken Robotics has successfully demonstrated the autonomous launch and recovery of its KATFISH towed sonar system from an unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The demonstration took place aboard a USV built by SEFINE Shipyard, marking a significant milestone in the integration of advanced robotics with autonomous maritime operations.

The trial showcased the KATFISH system’s ability to operate without human intervention, including deployment, operation, and retrieval. Conducted in collaboration with SEFINE Shipyard, the test involved Kraken’s high-resolution synthetic aperture sonar technology mounted on the KATFISH platform. The system was deployed from SEFINE’s USV, which is designed for remote-controlled or fully autonomous missions. This achievement highlights advancements in underwater mapping and surveillance capabilities for applications such as defense, research, and commercial operations.
