Kraken Robotics announced it has secured $35 million in SeaPower subsea battery sales from three customers, marking continued commercial traction for its pressure-tolerant power systems used on unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs).
The St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador-based company did not disclose the buyers, but said the orders reflect rising demand for long-endurance subsea missions across defense, commercial, and marine research applications. Kraken’s SeaPower batteries are designed to support extended operations on UUV platforms ranging from extra-large systems to small vehicles.
Kraken highlighted performance claims for SeaPower compared with traditional oil-compensated or pressure-housed alternatives, citing higher energy density and reduced weight per kilowatt-hour. The company also pointed to manufacturing expansion, saying additional capacity is coming online in North America alongside its existing European operations, positioning it to supply what it described as a rapidly growing UUV segment.
Kraken also referenced a new battery manufacturing facility in Nova Scotia that is expected to begin operations in the first quarter of 2026.
Kraken Robotics, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and OTCQB, develops subsea technologies spanning 3D imaging sensors, power solutions, and robotic systems, with offerings that include synthetic aperture sonar, sub-bottom imaging, LiDAR, and pressure-tolerant batteries.
KEY QUOTES:
“We’re pleased to see increasing momentum on our SeaPower battery sales and look forward to continued strong growth with our current UUV customers and to integrating on several new platforms throughout 2026. With manufacturing capacity coming online in North America in addition to our European operations, we are well positioned to supply power systems to the rapidly growing UUV segment, across platforms from extra-large to small (XLUUV to SUUV).”
