Kraken Receives Order to Equip 2nd Teledyne Gavia SeaRaptor AUV with AquaPix® SAS Sonar

Kraken Robotics Inc., Canada’s Ocean Company™, is pleased to announce a second purchase order for 6000-meter rated AquaPix® MINSAS 120 sonars from Teledyne Gavia. While we cannot provide the specific amount of these orders to Kraken, they total between $1.75 and $2.0 million. Kraken expects to fulfill these orders in 2021.




Teledyne Gavia’s Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) customer is Argeo AS, a European survey company who recently press released their two SeaRaptor AUV orders. According to Argeo, they intend to have the two AUV systems work in parallel for projects requiring larger seabed footprint and productivity, focusing on deep water projects and campaigns. The SeaRaptor is a survey-grade deep water AUV designed to operate at abyssal depths and is depth rated up to 6000 meters. SeaRaptor supports a variety of applications, such as search and recovery, salvage, exploration, construction support, deep sea mining, marine archaeology, and oceanography.

Kraken is the undisputed leader in provider Synthetic Aperture Sonar to third party underwater vehicle platforms. To date, Kraken has seen its Aquapix® sensors integrated on more than 20 unique underwater vehicle platforms from a variety of manufacturers.
