Overview
British defense technology company developing uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) and autonomous maritime platforms for naval and security applications. Founded by Mal Crease in 2020, Kraken builds a line of dual-use autonomous boats — the K3 Scout, K4 Manta, and K5 Kraken — that can be configured for surveillance, logistics, anti-submarine warfare, and precision strike missions. Raised $175M Series B at $1B valuation in July 2026, achieving unicorn status. The company builds through manufacturing partnerships with Rheinmetall, Anduril, and Inocea's Davie Shipbuilding rather than operating its own shipyards.
Safety profile within acceptable range for category. Well-capitalized with $175M raised and recent funding activity. Deployment footprint remains limited relative to category peers.
