ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraken Robotics Inc. ("Kraken" or the "Company") (TSX-V: PNG, OTCQB: KRKNF) is pleased to announce the completion of all deliveries and the successful sea acceptance of all systems for its mine-hunting sonar equipment under the Royal Danish Navy Minehunting sonar upgrade program. This contract was signed in September 2020, following a competitive bidding process. Under the contract with the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO), Kraken has delivered four complete turnkey mine-hunting systems, with each system consisting of a KATFISH towed Synthetic Aperture Sonar, Tentacle Winch and Autonomous Launch and Recovery System (ALARS), topside command and control equipment, and remote operation and monitoring capability for standoff mine-hunting operations.
ST。約翰斯、紐芬蘭和拉布拉多,2024年2月28日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——Kraken Robotics Inc.(“Kraken” 或 “公司”)(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:PNG,OTCQB:KRKNF)很高興地宣佈,根據丹麥皇家海軍獵雷聲納升級計劃,其獵雷聲納設備的所有系統已完成所有交付併成功接受海上驗收。該合同是在競爭性競標之後於2020年9月簽署的。根據與丹麥國防部採購和後勤組織(DALO)簽訂的合同,Kraken已經交付了四個完整的統包式地雷狩獵系統,每個系統都包括KATFISH牽引式合成孔徑聲納、觸手絞車和自主發射和回收系統(ALARS)、上部指揮和控制設備以及遠距離獵雷行動的遠程操作和監測能力。
Starting in 2022, the KATFISH mine-hunting systems were integrated onboard the Royal Danish Navy's optionally uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), the MSF-class. Kraken worked closely with MCM Denmark operators and workshop technicians as well as skilled local Danish shipyard, JOBI, to install Kraken's DNV design approved Autonomous Launch and Recovery System (ALARS) onto the MSF-class in parallel with the MSF-class planned mid-life refit. Kraken also integrated the KATFISH system with Saab's Command and Control (C2) software, providing operators with a seamless experience for mission planning and mission monitoring. The inclusion of Kongsberg's Maritime Broadband Radio (MBR) enables the complete system to operate remotely, streaming full resolution sonar imagery in real-time at ranges exceeding line of sight.
從2022年開始,KATFISH的探雷系統集成在丹麥皇家海軍的可選無人水面艦艇(USV)上,即MSF級。Kraken與丹麥MCM的操作員和車間技術人員以及熟練的丹麥當地造船廠JOBI密切合作,將Kraken經DNV設計批准的自主發射和回收系統(ALARS)安裝到無國界醫生級飛機上,同時對無國界醫生級進行中期改裝。Kraken還將KATFISH系統與薩博的指揮與控制(C2)軟件集成在一起,爲操作員提供了任務規劃和任務監控的無縫體驗。康斯伯格的海事寬帶無線電(MBR)的加入使整個系統能夠遠程運行,在超過視線的範圍內實時傳輸全分辨率聲納圖像。
In 2023, Kraken also entered in a 7-year sustainment contract with DALO, with options for two further 7-year extensions, for a total possible 21 years of sustainment. The sustainment program includes regularly scheduled maintenance, repair, and overhaul as well as provision of training and spare parts, and the delivery of regular capability enhancements through software updates. Throughout 2024, Kraken will also be delivering additional spares, including spare towcables and two spare KATFISH towbodies.
2023年,Kraken還與DALO簽訂了爲期7年的維護合同,可以選擇再延長兩次7年,總共可能持續21年。維持計劃包括定期維護、維修和大修,提供培訓和備件,以及通過軟件更新定期增強能力。在整個 2024 年,Kraken 還將提供額外的備件,包括備用牽引電纜和兩個備用 KATFISH 拖車。
Kraken has developed and delivered extensive training programs with the MCM Denmark team, including Onboard Operator, Onboard Maintainer, and Depot Maintainer training certification programs. As of 2024, the Royal Danish Navy will have completed their first full year of KATFISH operations, with an undisclosed large number of operational hours. Commander (Navy) K.P. Hansen, Commanding Officer of MCM Denmark said: "Our operators have been extremely pleased with the performance of the KATFISH system, including the ability for safe automated remote launch and recovery. The addition of this valuable high-resolution, high-speed seabed survey tool to our MCM toolbox has provided our operators with an invaluable capability in seabed warfare. Our mission to provide safety and security in Danish waters has been bolstered by this capability, and we look forward to many years of successful operations with the Kraken systems."
Kraken與丹麥MCM團隊一起制定並提供了廣泛的培訓計劃,包括機上操作員、機上維護員和倉庫維護人員培訓認證計劃。截至2024年,丹麥皇家海軍將完成其首個全年KATFISH行動,大量作戰時間未公開。丹麥MCM指揮官(海軍)K.P. Hansen指揮官說:“我們的操作員對KATFISH系統的性能,包括安全的自動遠程發射和恢復能力,感到非常滿意。將這種寶貴的高分辨率、高速海底調查工具添加到我們的MCM工具箱中,爲我們的操作員提供了寶貴的海底作戰能力。這種能力增強了我們在丹麥水域提供安全和保障的使命,我們期待Kraken系統在多年的成功運營中取得成功。”
The Head of the Maritime Division within DALO, Captain (RDN) Jakob Damgaard Rousøe noted in February 2024: "The process of integrating the Kraken KATFISH sonar into the Danish MCM forces is coming to an end and it is anticipated that the MCM capacity will reach Full Operational Capability (FOC) within the first half of 2024. An extremely extensive and close coordinated work has been put into the system integration from all stakeholders. This has resulted in many days and hours onboard the small MCM drones at the Naval base in Frederikshavn. I have followed the work closely and I am very pleased with the overall result. A very impressive sensor providing very detailed images that will increase the detection and classification probability of mine like echoes significantly. Well done to all."
DALO海事部負責人雅各布·達姆加德·魯索上尉(RDN)在2024年2月指出:“將Kraken KATFISH聲納整合到丹麥MCM部隊的過程即將結束,預計MCM的能力將在2024年上半年達到全面作戰能力(FOC)。所有利益攸關方在系統整合方面開展了極爲廣泛和密切的協調工作。這導致在弗雷德裏克斯港海軍基地的小型MCM無人機上待了好幾天和幾個小時。我一直在密切關注這項工作,我對總體結果感到非常滿意。一個非常令人印象深刻的傳感器,可提供非常詳細的圖像,將顯著提高地雷回波的探測和分類概率。大家都幹得好。”
