Kraken have partnered with Capewell on the air deployment of their K3 SCOUT, significantly enhancing the USV platform’s operational advantage with UMCADS platform enabled air drop.
Lieutenant General (Retd) Ed Davis, a former Commandant General Royal Marines and now Capewell Europe’s Strategic Director said “by integrating the K3 SCOUT with Capewell’s Universal Maritime Craft Aerial Delivery System (UMCADS), the user can effect the safe, secure and timely delivery of the craft by parachute, and at range, to the operational point of need. This adds greater tactical advantages of surprise, agility and endurance within the area of operations over more conventional means of maritime platform deployment”.
Mal Crease, Founder and CEO of Kraken Technology Group said, “we are continually looking for ways to enhance Kraken platform capability through collaboration with expert partners to deliver genuine operational advantages. We look forward to collaborating with Capewell on other Next Generation Aerial Delivery System (NGADS) fitments and unlocking the air deployment potential of other Kraken platforms in future”.
