Kraken Robotics receives C$11 million-worth of SeaPower battery orders

Canadian company Kraken Robotics Inc. has received new orders totaling C$11 million ($12.6 million) for SeaPower™ pressure tolerant batteries for Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs). This brings year-to-date new battery orders to $45 million ($51.5 million), driven predominantly by UUVs for the defence industry.

SeaPower batteries are unique in that they do not require a pressure housing or oil compensation to withstand deep ocean pressures, the company says. The modular batteries are encased in a proprietary silicon polymer matrix, which resists compression and tolerates pressures up to 660 Bar, the equivalent of 6,000 meters ocean depth. SeaPower’s high energy density provides safe, reliable power, enabling UUVs to complete longer, more complex missions.

Kraken is well-positioned for continued strong growth in its subsea power business, the company says. It recently announced plans to open a new battery facility in Nova Scotia, which will more than triple production to meet defence industry demand. Kraken is also developing new form factors to power small and medium UUVs. These new batteries are due to be released in late 2025.
