Kraken Know-how Group stated it’s teaming up with L3Harris Applied sciences to advance the combination of management programs throughout the K40 MANTA prototype.
This collaboration marks a step within the technical evolution of Kraken’s K40 MANTA platform, setting the muse for the event of enhanced autonomous capabilities and in the end, full autonomy.
The K40 is an uncrewed surface-subsurface (USSV) platform that makes use of foils for fast floor transit earlier than submerging for clandestine maneuvering. This high-performance vessel requires well-established, cutting-edge management programs and L3Harris possesses the mandatory parts and experience required for seamless integration into the K40 MANTA. These built-in programs will allow the distant management of the uncrewed platform for engineering testing, foil growth, powertrain calibration and demonstration earlier than enhancement in later developmental levels.
“We sit up for working with L3Harris on the implementation of key programs for K40 MANTA as a basis for future developments,” stated Mal Crease, founder and CEO of Kraken Know-how Group.
“L3Harris is proud to collaborate with Kraken on this groundbreaking platform,” stated Mark Exeter, managing director, ASV, L3Harris. “Our two firms possess complementary abilities, benefiting each organizations by this enterprise. Moreover, this collaboration paves the way in which for broader collaboration, capitalizing on our shared experience, additional facilitated by our proximity to Portsmouth, a famend UK marine innovation hub.”
