MoU signed for greater security

British marine technology company Kraken Technology has signed an MoU with Thales to develop bespoke systems for Kraken’s maritime precision engagement platform.

The K50 has been developed for modern green-water security operations, and is just the first area of collaboration between the two firms.

“Further areas of collaboration and development will include the development of advanced composite high-performance craft, in addition to bespoke electric and advanced hybrid powertrain solutions, all of which will be built at a new advanced engineering and technology centre,” the firms say.

Thales will provide the ability to integrate a range of sensor and weapons equipment with scalable command and control, communication and networking systems.

“We are exceptionally pleased to be teaming with one of the most well-respected names in the defence and security industry and looking forward to working together to address the growing requirement for advanced powertrain and modular composite structure solutions for the precision engagement sector,” said Mal Crease, Founder and CEO of Kraken Technology Group.
