Varied support: K3 Scout unmanned surface vehicle

More and more unmanned surface vehicles are being developed for naval use. A British company promises particular flexibility with its new model.

The British Kraken Technology Group presented the K3 Scout unmanned surface vehicle (USV) during Special Operations Forces Week in Florida at the beginning of May. The state-of-the-art vehicle is characterised by a slim, hydrodynamic design that enables particularly high efficiency and manoeuvrability in the water. The double-stepped hull reduces water resistance and increases positional stability, especially when manoeuvring.
