K4 MANTA 18
Product descripton: K4 MANTA 18 by Kraken Technology Group
Kraken’s pioneering low-cost, low-signature, all-electric, foiling Uncrewed Surface Subsurface Vessel (USSV) platform designed for a wide range of applications, including Defence, Security and Commercial.
The K4 MANTA is capable of rapid uncrewed surface transit of sensor or effect payloads, before submerging for covert infiltration, persistent recce or loitering roles.
Three variants, from the lowest-signature 18ft to the highly versatile 36ft and 54ft multi-purpose versions capable of substantial modular payload carriage.
K4 MANTA 18
The lightest, smallest, and stealthiest MANTA, this USSV could operate undetected for seven days and at speeds up to 30 knots, carrying 100 kilograms user-defined payload.
