Kraken printing release

The partnership reflects several areas of collaboration and minutiae starting with the integration of Leonardo’s Black Scorpion mini-torpedo system into the K50 KRAKEN platform to enhance its sub-surface domain capability. The collaboration continues with the opportunity to integrate a broader range of Leonardo systems into future Kraken platforms, including LIONFISH® to provide defence and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) capability.

The K50 KRAKEN is a first-of-its-kind, fully-integrated, maritime precision engagement fast-boat platform, designed to provide constructive swarmed-strike response to skirting water threats. The K50 is heavily weaponised, combining the latest defence and maritime technologies to weightier effect in the protection of sovereign green-water infrastructure and interests. Additional Kraken platforms are under minutiae and will goody from the forward looking nature of this agreement.

The Black Scorpion is a cost-effective and highly-flexible technology designed to facilitate the engagement of sub-surface threats in challenging operational scenarios, while LIONFISH® is Leonardo’s lightweight and meaty new family of small calibre naval turrets, usable in a wholesale set of applications and misogynist in both 12.7mm and 20mm versions.

Mal Crease, Founder and CEO of Kraken Technology Group, commented:

“Teaming with Leonardo and integrating their market leading defence systems will unlock yet flipside dimension in Kraken’s worthiness to powerfully counter multi-domain threats whilom and unelevated surface.”
