Kraken Robotics’ Katfish sonar system was tested on MARLIN İDA

Kraken Robotics’ Katfish sonar system was tested on the RD-22 MARLIN Unmanned Marine Vehicle (IDA) developed by ASELSAN and Sefine Shipyard. In the statement made by the company regarding the test, “Kraken Robotics has successfully demonstrated the KATFISH towed synthetic aperture sonar system and autonomous pickup and release system (LARS) on SEFINE’s RD-22 unmanned surface vehicle (USV) under the coordination of SEFINE SISAM.” statements were included.

Kraken Robotics Vice President of Defense Bernard Mills said in his statement on the subject, “Recent developments reveal the importance of protecting sea passageways and underwater infrastructure. Autonomous mine countermeasure capabilities such as KATFISH can make a significant contribution to navies’ efficient detection and classification of mine-like objects. By combining SEFINE’s multi-purpose unmanned surface vehicle with Kraken’s high-tech KATFISH system and USV LARS, navies can use advanced technologies more quickly and efficiently.” can be deployed, strengthening defense and maritime security in increasingly complex environments.” He used his expressions.

The demonstration focused on the rapid detection and classification of mine-like objects and critical underwater infrastructure and was conducted with the participation of many navies and government agencies. KATFISH provided data at a resolution of 3 cm x 3 cm at a range of 200 meters on each side. This data was transferred to a command center on shore in real time through SEFINE SISAM’s mission planning software, allowing operators to instantly classify contacts.
