Chris Haworth, CEO at SeeByte said, “This collaborative approach brings together a best-of-breed solution to satisfy the needs of our maritime and naval customers. We are excited to add Kraken to the long list of SeeByte collaborators and look forward to seeing the capabilities of this combined solution for high-resolution seabed intelligence.”
Greg Reid, CEO at Kraken said, “Kraken provides turnkey minehunting solutions which collect high quality data and turn it into high quality seabed intelligence—our customers use this to inform high quality decisions. Our sonar systems are used worldwide for critical decision-making, providing swaths up to 400 m and constant resolutions of down to 2 x 2 cm. Having completed several integrations and customer demos with SeeByte, Kraken is excited to integrate with SeeByte’s advanced capabilities. This provides navies worldwide with the ability to seamlessly leverage SeeByte’s mission management tools to optimally plan, analyze and review Kraken’s high-resolution synthetic aperture sonar data.”
SeeByte and Kraken will demonstrate this collaboration at the NATO Exercise REPMUS 2024 in September.
