“Together we will reimagine the Royal Navy as a new hybrid Navy... a dispersed but digitally connected fleet of crewed, uncrewed, and autonomous platforms that will redefine maritime military power.” 

   First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins - Speech at DSEI 2025

MISSION

Sea power is entering a new era. Agility and autonomy, modularity and mass now define strategic advantage across the maritime domain.

Kraken delivers that advantage. Aligned with the vision of the world’s most advanced navies for versatile, integrated and resilient fleets,

Kraken designs and builds crewed and uncrewed platforms which operate on and beneath the surface.

Kraken’s responsibility is clear: Accelerate capability development, strengthen operational flexibility and enable sea powers to engage decisively and win with confidence.

Anchored in three principles.

  • Kraken operates with engineering rigour and programme control. Open architecture, defined standards and accountable delivery underpin every system. Platforms are designed to withstand scrutiny and integrate with allied frameworks without friction.

  • Capability must ensure mission success in real-world conditions. Kraken engineers for operational tempo and complexity, even in high sea states and adverse conditions. Rapid deployment, reliable autonomy and modular adaptability ensure Kraken systems deliver strategic advantage when it matters.

  • Innovation without scale is insufficient. Kraken designs for production readiness, industrial depth, and sustained growth. Systems progress from demonstration to scalable deployment at pace and in line with operational demand signals.

Kraken engineering is operationally ready to underpin strategic advantage, even in the most contested of maritime environments.
