grow,” said Kraken President and CEO Greg Reid.Kraken says that industry demand signals are solid with an increasing focus on the surveillance and security of critical underwater infrastructure and subsea warfare driven by increased geopolitical tensions. Against this backdrop, the growth of unmanned systems in the subsea domain is accelerating, as subsea drones are seen as a complement to very expensive, exquisite surface warfare assets and submarines.In the mine warfare arena, navies around the world are in various stages of planning and executing upgrades with multiple large tenders in the market
UUV Integration Will Transform Submarine Tactics
Dynamics, which utilizes a retractable platform to deploy and recover UUVs of varying displacements.Whereas in the past, submarines have relied on passive sonar and stealth when carrying out their missions, continued success – and survivability - will hinge on how artfully new technologies and unmanned systems can be integrated into subsea operations. It will also necessitate a more aggressive posture, whether targeting enemy submarines using offboard active sonar, neutralizing seabed targets, laying minefields at standoff range, or deceiving and disrupting enemy ASW. Onboard integration of UUVs will

is also pursuing a prime contract to build the Large Unmanned Surface Vessels (LUSV).Drones and autonomy are a key piece of the US Navy’s future requirements, and Austal USA Advanced Technologies is poised to bring additive manufacturing capabilities to the rapid production and deployment of unmanned systems to meet that need. We must to be ready to scale up using additive manufacturing production capabilities for small and medium vessels. In the future, we will be in a position to print small sized vessels, but currently our focus is the submarine industrial base.What tech do you see in the formative
